round about $150 all-in for the hotel on long island ... i will book our flight at the next weekend. after that we can start with bidding :-) ... taxes are roundabout 22 percent or? is the location difference between lower east side and more central parts of the city so big? I thought with subway it's not the problem to stay a little bit outside. If I am wrong, I have to raise up my limit I think :-/

I think 3 stars are enough for a standard room, lower east side is absolutly ok, a short walk is no problem ... my backup-solution would be the verve at long island, but I'm not sure if it's acceptable to go by subway to the hot spots or if it's much better to spend some $ more and go to manhattan.

Hey guys, at first sorry for my bad english, but I am no native speaker. I actually plan my first trip to the states and need a hotel at nyc for 11/3/14 to 11/8/14. Most important is the location (manhattan) and a clean, non-smoker room with own bathroom. We are 2 persons. Do I have a chance to find something great with our budget $160 per night incl. taxes? at my first search at PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE I didn't find a deal which is looking like the deals you posted. What is my mistake? And how would be the correct line of action? Please help me, I didn't use PRICELINE ever before, so I'm a real noob.
