Just booked the Pointe Plaza in the Brooklyn -- NYC 3* region on Priceline (using the referral link) for 135. Was hoping for a bit cheaper, but after a few days of bidding I wasn't getting any results.
Read on the site before hand and used the site Priceline links. Started at $135 across multiple zones in Manhattan. Ended up getting the Fitzpatrick Grand Central for 155. Thanks!
