Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout quotes. Breakfast allowances, transport, drinks and activities are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual default.
Hampton includes breakfast (12 credited once); Handlery and Hilton are room only. Hotel prices are gross, tax-inclusive table prices, counted once. Every total shows the subtotal before any tax reserve beside it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the listing order follows room price, not quality.
Handlery Union Square · Example A
Total for two adults
2,836.84 USD
Subtotal before any tax reserve: 2,836.84 USD (no reserve added). No separate tax reserve is added because the dated public table says taxes and charges are included; the displayed gross total is counted once. This is not a claim that every tax or fee is covered or that the checkout bill is reconciled: unlisted mandatory fees are unknown, not zero. All three offers allow free cancellation only within 24 hours of booking — not until arrival. Restaurant prices carry the disclosed 5% surcharge and an 8.625% sales-tax provision. Qualified illustration, not a checkout quote: hotel prices are dated public room-table observations in whole currency units; deposits and unlisted extras are unknown, not zero. Hotels are listed by observed room price alone, not quality. The observed price reflects a 7% discount displayed on 2 October 2026, which is not guaranteed. Deposits are unknown. Room only: all 14 breakfasts use the MTC allowance.
