On the Ave or The Benjamin Hotel in NYC
 
Any opinions on either hotel. Good pricing on advance non refundable price at the Benjamin $359 inc. tax and about the same for On the Ave. Any help here.....

Any particular plans in specific locations?

More interested in midtown (business and can be very busy) vs upper west side (mid upscale residential - and busy but not frantic - with more modest eating places).

That sounds high for On the Ave. The Benjamin is a nicer hotel imo but it also depends on what room you get at both. Oyster.com should have photos of both.

I like the location of OTA, but that's just me. But as nyt noted, $359/nt for OTA? Sounds high.

If you sign up for emails from OTA you will get special offers. We stayed there and I loved the hotel and location. If possible, get a corner room. $359 definitely sounds high.
