Thanks. Yes, I've been to NY a few times. After reading some of the possible hotel reviews, it seems like I could try to start at a 4 but go down to a 3.5 or even a 3 in the TS area and still feel okay with the quality, and I can also consider MTW (though, again, the walkability to the Marquis is important to me). However, I just thought of a wrinkle: I'll be sharing the hotel room with a friend, and for reimbursement purposes we'd need to split the cost in half and demonstrate separate receipts. But, this isn't possible with priceline, obviously, since I'd need to pay the full amount in advance. Is there a way to get around this, or have other users done so, perhaps through getting a refund for half at the hotel and having my friend pay for that second half?
