Would very much appreciate any suggestions for a 3 night stay in NYC in late October, and particularly “affordable “ (ie sub $500 pm with current HH sale prices) options where HH Diamond would deliver some benefit. Tempo and Hilton Times Square seem OK but probably prefer not to be right in TS.
The SLH properties, the Draper and the Martinique look interesting. Conrad Downtown is twice the price.
My other option would be the Sofitel, as am Accor + Plat.
Thanks in advance.
 
I stayed here a few years ago which was OK but not fantastic but it suited my budget and good location

 
When we are in NY we gravitate to the Hilton Mid Town, no particular reason other than we are used to it. The lounge was not the best but did the job, in our experience most US hotels within the Hilton chain at the HH Diamond level the experience is underwhelming.
 
Not too flash, but we stayed at this Hilton Garden Inn in Nov 2024, Thanksgiving week - Hilton Garden Inn West 35th st.

I was only Gold, no lounge, didn't use the breakfast options as it was basic reheat the sausage and egg muffin kind of stuff. We enjoyed using the daily F&B allowance on overpriced M&Ms, etc, from the snack area to take home.
Close to Macy's and a subway station.

No free booze anymore at the lounge, it’s really only there so they don’t have to give you the F&B credit.

Hilton Times Square has a great location, and the Empire rooms have a good view (don’t get the Times Square rooms, you can’t actually see Times Square). Very limited benefits to elites - I think they might even charge for luggage storage after check out?

As with most US Hiltons, Diamonds are a dime a dozen so don’t expect much much at any property.
