Bit of an update... We were initially wanting to stay in NY from Dec 30 - Jan 6 but this has now been changed to us arriving on Dec 28. We would like to split our stay from Dec 28 to Jan 1. Then another five nights from Jan 3 to 8. For the first part of our stay, I have found that Brooklyn has the best rates with Aloft and the Sheraton around $1100 for four nights ($275/night inc tax). Out of these, the Sheraton is the only one we can get by bidding. Do you think it would be possible to get it for around $180 on Priceline? Thanks again :)
