Hello everyone,

I am having a hard time deciding on a 4-5 star hotel to celebrate my Mother's birthday in NYC in August. She is traveling from abroad and this will be her first time in New York. She dreams to visit NYC and have a view of Central Park. We will be traveling the first week of August for 3 days. The Ritz Central Park and the Pierre have a night free package but I read that the Plaza has more pizzazz than the Ritz or the Pierre, is this true? Do you have any recommendations to get a good deal in any of these hotels besides the potential free night...? I would appreciate your guidance with this question.
