Hi All!

I am getting married next October and need to start thinking about arranging room blocks for our guests coming from far and wide!  Our wedding is in midtown Manhattan.  The original idea was to make arrangements at 3 different hotels, representing different pricepoints.  We already have our upscale/expensive hotel taken care of, but I'm having a hard time picking the others. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for a mid- or low-range (but still nice, hopefully a name brand) hotels that are relatively close to Central Park South and 7th Ave?

Do you think 3 hotels is too many??  Should I stick with just the really nice one and something like a Hilton where rooms are low $200's?  (I kinda think that is still a little pricey for some...)

UGH.  Suggestions please!!!

Thanks!

    I am getting married in April in midtown, and looked far and wide for a hotel under $200 for some of my guests. We ended up with the Doubletree Hotel on 51st and Lexington for $175. The rooms are clean, and its a convinient spot..I would definitely check there for your group!

    My understanding is that it can be hard to find hotels in the city that will hold a room block rate for you. The 2 friends I know used the W in midtown on (Lex at 49th St).

    They have really amazing deals on hotels around the city.  For my wedding everyone stayed at the Ace and thought it was fantastic.

    I am getting married in December and I did 3 hotels.  I did one boutique hotel where I'm staying, and then two lower priced ones.  Because of the season, the cheapest i'm getting is $214/night....aggravating, but there's nothing i can do.  

    All three hotels had no problem with me reserving a block.

    Also try hotelplanner.com.  I used that for my December wedding - you put in the details and hotels will submit a bid.  Got us rooms at a Hampton Inn near the Empire State Building for $229.  Already had the hotel attached to our venue for $315 and a small hotel called Radio City Apartments on 49th street for $189.  Radio City is a decent option if you are looking for something in that price point.  It is a little on the old side, and not a lot of amenities, but I stayed there before I lived here and it was perfectly fine.  They do make guests give a deposit of one night's stay to hold the rooms, however.

    The Marriott Courtyard on Third Avenue and 54th (about) Street is clean, excellent price for the area and pretty well thought of by business travelers.
