I'm looking for a hotel in NYC for Oct. 22 to Oct. 26. I'd like a 3.5* or 4* or better in any area between Chelsea and Central Park South. I'd like to get something in the $200 a night or less range. Prices have been continually falling over the last two months, and now they are in the $230 range. I did some bidding on Priceline earlier today, but couldn't get anything for $185 a night. Should I wait for better prices or is this about as good as it gets. In the past I've gotten the Affinia Manhattan and 6 Columbus in the $200 range, I think, but I usually just bite the bullet and start bidding a month out from my trip. Any thoughts?
