Hey that free parking thing is worth a bundle 
I didn't get too excited at first, but then I noticed that the rates are valid until March 31, 2003 (Thursday to Sunday nights).
So good rates actually. Not a W Hotel or a Westin, but good rates for NYC. And they have committed to these rates for 6 months !
I read an article today that stated that occupancy levels in NYC were similar to last year's but at the expense of lower room rates (about 20$ per night). The rates on this promo affirm that.
There is an acutal promo link that was posted earlier (and some good advice too in choosing between these 3 properties).

What is the rate code on these. I did a search and had to book at higher rates. I found for October weekend dates (Oct 5 and Oct 13) rates were the same as W Times Sq so I booked there at $208 (oouch).
I do not like the Sheraton NY but the Manhattan is OK.

Unless they're paying you $169/nt, don't stay at the NY H&T or Manhattan.

Great news! I will be in NYC between 3-4/11 and the 169$ rate is there. Another Starwood stay towards my Concorde flight 
Now I only have to decide which one to choose.

I agree that the Sheraton Towers or Manhattan are *NOT* the place to use this rate. Go to the Russell!
At $189, however, these are GREAT rates if you are parking a car.

Go for the Russell! There are too many negative posts about the other Sheraton properties- not even the Sheraton Service Promise would make me consider staying at the other two.
If I can't stay at the W Times Square, then the Russell with free parking is a great deal.

Thanks from Munich too - your post saved me a good bunch of money over the lowest "regular" rate avaiable, be it on starwood.com or hilton.com...
Based on the posts here I picked the Sheraton Russell, too... guess I gotta do a search now and see why that is

Thanks for the posting. Very good price.
How is a "Continental breakfast for two" like? Coffee and a bun at the reception? I always had a buffet breakfast at SPGs, Hiltons.

In regards to the Russell it is served on the Lobby level opposite the Bar. It is served buffet style with a very good selection considering it is "free".

I just booked a room at the Russell. I was wondering if this hotel also qualifies for the 1000 point bonus?
I ask because I was only able to book it via the above link, and not the 1000 point link on the SPG website.
I love the Russell; and at $169 it's a steal.
