Hi all

First post for me here after a while browsing. I've got a short trip to New York coming up from 3rd-7th Feb. Will be mine and boyfriend's first time visiting. We're looking to do the trip for a good price so not overly sure how 'luxury' these two are, but have managed to find some good deals in our budget (around £600 for four nights).

The Benjamin is £585+tax for a Deluxe Studio with Virtuoso benefits through classictravel.com. Benefits are upgrade, full American breakfast, 20% off spa (won't use), amenity from GM and early check-in (will use).
Jumeirah Essex House is £595+tax for a King Room on a stay four, pay three with benefits (Signature?) through whatahotel.com. Benefits are upgrade, continental breakfast and $100 for South Gate restaurant.

Which would you choose and why? Not too worried about room size as we'll be out and about a bit. I have no idea on locations to stay in NYC - I think we'd be Tribeca / Soho guys, but friends are saying stay super central for a first visit.

Thanks
