Marriott-family hotels in "xx" means all Marriott brand hotels in that city. It does not mean hotels that are family friendly, although there could be some family friendly ones on the list. But it refers to the various brands. Marriott-family hotels in XX usually have posts asking which property is better, etc, & trip reports are usually in the property specific threads."

The Manhattan properties are like half the cost of that property. It looks crappy from the picture on the website.

Do those dates coincide with the US Open (tennis) which is close to that property?

The risk one takes with just putting any date in for a MR fare. Oh well my cpm's just shot sky high. I really don't want to stay in Manhattan with a 6 AM flight out the next morning on this MR.

If the room has 2 Double Beds, it shouldn't matter whether you have 3 or 4 people in a room. As busy as most hotels are, they won't do a check to see if you have 3 or 4 in a room. You should be fine.
For example, if a family of four includes children, will the hotel deny the # of people or make them get an extra room? I don't think so.

You're probably right. You may only receive 2 or 3 towels in your bathroom, but that's not an issue, as you can always request for more towels and bathroom amenities. Also, don't forget to leave a tip for the maid

As Platinum, paying a "group rate" of $250.00, was upgraded to a studio type large room overlooking Time Square. Also had access to the lounge, which had a great selection of food and drinks. Bar service available at reduced rates compared to the 8th floor bar.

Is there any Discount code that can be used to get the Marquis' rate below $150/night? Just curious as to whenever I had planned to stay there, the rate was always over $200/night?

$150/night is well below even the government rate for NYC. You will essentially never find a rate that low. Weekday rates are much, much higher year-round. And unlike a lot of places, the Marquis doesn't discount its rates a whole lot on the weekends, because of tourism. Don't waste your time.

New Courtyard Upper East Side opening delayed
Months ago I booked new Courtyard Upper East Side in NYC for mid-May, but got suspicious about the advertised on website) April opening a few weeks ago when I checked the rate online and found you could no longer book any rooms there before June 1. Called Marriott Guest services in early April to check on the status of the hotel, and, after quite a while on hold, was assured that the hotel was opening April 11. I was still skeptical and, lo and behold, just days later I received an e-mail stating that hotel wouldn't be open until mid-May. Although website now touts a May opening, the earliest date for booking rooms has been pushed back to July 1. Bottom line - I wouldn't bet on that mid-May date, or even June.

Same thing happened to me with Residence Inn Downtown Louisville - it was supposed to open around beginning of October 2005. It finally opened in December. I stayed there last month, very nice decor, same as the new RI in DC.

Which NYC Property?
For someone only staying in Manhattan for two days / one night (Sunday night) in May, do you recommend:
1. Marriott East Side
2. Courtyard -- Midtown East
3. Courtyard -- Times Square South
Easy access to the subway is a consideration.
Thanks in advance!

I am staying at the Courtyard Midtown East this weekend and from what I have heard and seen, it is a very nice renovated Courtyard with easy subway access.
I have stayed at the Marriott East Side before and it is pricey for nothing really special...but transit is easy as well on the 6 line.
I will report back next week with how the Courtyard was. I have to work this weekend up there......
