I have been reading other posts and it looks like I can get Beekman or Hampton Inn Chelsea for under $200 per night. I am tempted to do it unless somone can advise differently. I would like to spend less but from what I can tell I would have to get out of downtown to do so. I thought about paying more for a 4* for the first 4 nights(sunday-wednesday) and then do something like the best western or Days Inn in Jersey for my last 3 nights. Never having been to New York I am not sure how important quality is verses location. We plan on doing a lot of touristy things. I mainly want clean, safe and convenient location. I have been looking on Easy click and have figured out the reverse lookup. It is my wife and I. Any advise is great. I tend to over evaluate things so part of me just wants to get it over with and book something. I have not tried hotwire or priceline.
