I have been to NYC many times but always stayed in Midtown or up so this time we wanted to try something different. Since we are only going to be there for 1 night, I want to visit Smorgasburg so I thought Brooklyn could have been a good choice, I know the Priceline area is big but I have noticed that the only 4* hotels are in the Brooklyn Bridge area (Sheraton, Marriott) but prices are higher than I expected. Of course staying in the Financial District is an option but until now no bids have been successful: Last bid attempt was for a 4* in Financial District, Brooklyn and Chelsea for $140 and it was rejected. (There's a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $179 and I think it's the Gild Hall but I wanted to spend a bit less). We could sacrifice location but I don't want to end up in a 3* in Chinatown. Do you think UES, Times Square or UWS could have something for $150? Even if we have stayed there, we can always use the metro or ferry to get to Smorgasburg. Thanks for your help!
