Hi I'll be visiting NY for the very first time in Dec and almost had a mini heart attack looking at the hotel prices. Luckily a girlfriend linked me to this wonderful website and hopefully I can find a better deal for the hotels. :) I already have a reservation at Herald Square for the whole duration. Price per night with tax is around $330. I checked out a couple of B&Bs but the better ones are all full for the period. Is it a bad time to visit NY? I am hoping to be able to get a 4* hotel in either Times Square or Empire State Building for no more than $200 (before tax). Is this amount realistic? Or should I up to $250? How should I go about bidding for it? Thanks!
