    🗽 great content as always, Mandy! I’ve just returned from NYC and stayed at the Conrad Downtown. Previously I’d stayed at the Motto in Chelsea. The Conrad is far nicer, but I prefer the vibe of Chelsea. I can’t imagine staying in Times Square unless it were absolutely necessary!

    We stayed at the Beekman for two weeks three years ago in a room off of the main atrium/skylight area and those rooms were new. I visited the bar area under the skylight last August and I didn't notice a change in their service. It looks like you enjoyed your time in NYC. Thanks for producing an informative video. Say hi to Sebby!

    Fantastic presentation, love your outlook and opinions. My wife and I stay at the Conrad midtown or one of the HGV. We are mature so we don’t hotel hop, too old to move our luggage around. We’ll have to give the W a try. We enjoy staying between Central Park and Times Square. Please keep the reviews coming. Did you guys use points for your stays? Enjoy your travels!!

    🗽Usually Midtown because of work! Been sticking to Marriotts as well like the W or Renaissance, but might try out The EDITION Time Square this time around.. Have you been to that one? I wonder what the chances of upgrades are with Marriott Plat for a nearly week long trip at these properties?

  • @MandyRoams

    The EDITION looks solid! Upgrades are usually easier on shorter stays. Or if it's the offseason (January in NYC for example).

    🗽this video was extremely helpful. Me and my wife are going to New York in July and was deciding between hotels. The W was on the list and with my status as well hoping for an upgrade to a room like you guys.🤞There weren't many review so this video helped me make the decision. Any suggestion of things so must do would be nice? thanks

    The benefit of NYC is that there's pretty much an infinite number of things to do! Food is usually on the top of our list, so worth making reservations to things that you (and especially your wife) would love :)

    🗽I usually stay in midtown area near Central Park. Most recently at AKA New York, a quiet apartment style hotel popular with media types. Picked by my boss. He had the big suite while I had a large room with window facing alleyway and another building. But location was great on 58th st.

    Great video... Question: We currently have Platinum Elite status via AMEX Bonvoy Brilliant, and was curious to know if you've ever stayed at the Marriott Marquis Times Square as well? We're planning an upcoming family trip, and trying to decide on whether we should stay at either the MM Times Square or W Times Square for 2-3 nights this coming Summer... Just looking for the best experience and upgrade opportunities that'll best work in our favor...

    I stayed at the Marriott Marquis Times Square ~10 years ago. I think they renovated since then, plus there's an M Club Lounge which is a huge plus compared the W. I would choose based on the vibe of the hotel and if you value lounge access or not.

    🗽🗽I like Hyatt Herald Square - it’s clean and simple. Had a father / daughter trip a few years back. They had really good dinner specials and the roof top grill you can see the Empire State Building on one side and if you look the other way you can see the 9/11 Memorial pretty cool

    I may be in the minority but I prefer to stay near Times Square. Knowing I can walk down at any time of the night and be pretty safe since there are usually people around is a plus. Plus it's an easy access point to the rest of NYC.

    @@MandyRoams Yikes! The W Hoboken used to be a decent redemption but it looks like dynamic pricing has killed it off. Last time we stayed at the Residence Inn in weehawken - although if you ride to midtown you’ll need to walk to the subway to Hudson yards, take the bus, or my fav suggestion of getting a citi bike. Now evaluating Marriott dynamic pricing kicking in, id say my next stay is gonna be FiDi too!
