Am looking for NYC 7/4/14-7/9/14. I'm open to most midtown locations, even willing to go upper city a bit. Priceline has a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal, 4 Star / Midtown East (Pets, Business, Restaurant, Fitness) for $146... all in, -5%, 853.55 for the trip. I'm assuming its the Intercontinental Barclay & it seems like a solid deal. Question is - Book now, wait to see if it drops, or bid traditionally on a Name Your Own Price hotel? Do NYC prices tend to drop as you get closer to your stay date? Thanks in advance for your advice. Tim
