Who offers the best price?
At the time of writing in March 2018, a hotel room with a king-sized bed and 195 square foot of space cost US$379 (AUD$475) at the Hyatt Herald Square, New York.
On the same date, a room with a king-sized bed and 330 square foot of space at Hilton Times Square cost US$379 (AUD$475) with Hilton.
The verdict?
We checked them both on the same day and the cost of a Hyatt and Hilton hotel room were identical. The Hilton was a little more central, though, being right on Times Square. The Hyatt was a 15-minute walk away.
What are the deals like?
Hilton offers range from $50 daily in resort credit when you book certain hotels to free breakfasts and 20% early bird discounts.
The "offers" pages from Hyatt feature deals like free breakfasts and discounts on suites. Most of Hyatt’s offers are aimed at members, though, such as 10% discounts on room rates.
The verdict?
Hilton offers a wider range of offers and not just to members.
