In your opinion, are the AC and Moxy TS good value in terms of cost and location? If I were to spend points, where should I stay in terms of location and points required for redemption?
Thx.
If it were me and using points, I would pick one of the Cat 4 hotels in Fidi or LIC. I am not a fan of the TS area in general, and I don’t think an extra 10k a night is worth it for a Midtown location, when the subway is quick and easy. The AC TS is fine but probably not my first Cat 5 choice. I’d probably go with one of the RIs or one of hotels in Chelsea. There is a new Autograph Collection in Weehawken that is a Cat 5, which is somewhat intriguing to me, but the ferry to Hudson Yards is not as convenient (or as cheap) as the subway.
