Tried to get a decent place for our stay in Miami Beach, after reading all the reviews I was not really happy with bidding higher for an opaque place, even the 3* places have terrible reviews and candid traveler photos.

At $85 for a 2,5, I gave up. Browsed for a place that looked nice and had good reviews.

Booked the Nassau Suite Hotel for $119 (Rack $129 My dates) seems perfect, I'll find out when I get there, booked through a Swedish

Hi,

This place looks nice, and there are no "resort fees"

But this hotel has "red hot deals" and booking on the site will actually be cheaper.

Your dates, 174,72 incl Tax (if you get the cheapest room) and this reservation seems to be cancellable...

This happened to me in Vineland, NJ, and i'ts not fun...

Doing a Us of A Roadtrip in October, starting in New York (EWR) and ending in Orlando (MCO) i have been looking for a decent place to stay close to Manhattan.

Everything in the city is either >$250 or real dumps, so I decided to stay in Jersey.

I have had the same problem, searching for anything in Manhattan for October. (15-18 / 15-21)

I tried up to $110, for 2* and got nothing.

Even the hotel Carter (new website) is $115 for a double room.

I firtst thought of staying in a hostel (Private room shared bath) for around $80-100 a night but now I'll stay outside of manhattan.

Anywhay good luck, there might be sometinh out there!
