KatiesMom Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 I have an upcoming visit to NYC on 4/9 (broadway show and dinner, already booked) . If I get a good bargain on a 4* we'll stay over one night (there are 2 couples so 2 rooms needed). The overnight is optional, because we can easily take the train back home.I've been following hotwire and easyclick for the past several weeks for my travel date and it isn't pretty. On hotwire, a 4* matching the description of the Millennium UN Plaza shows up around $182 (on easyclick it's $209). Ordinarily, I would take this hotel in a heartbeat, but not for that price under my circumstances. A 4.5* on hotwire, matching the W, is showing up around $195. The trend I see for my date is prices going up slightly over the past few weeks, certainly not down. This morning I decided to see if the priceline gods (via savingsbarn.com) would smile on me...Started at $95 for 4*, MTE, check in date 4/9, check out 4/10, 2 rooms. In $5 increments, I added MTW, UM-CPS, MTS, UES, UWS. Nothing at $120, which right now is about my max (I am paying for both rooms as a treat to the other couple). Prices are definitely higher than last year. I have time, I'm patient, and I will be checking around last minute, unless anyone knows of any other options.
thereuare Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Why not try the Jersey City Hyatt which appears to be available on HOTWIRE for $77/nite (likely less thru Priceline).Seems to be a lot less than your budget and you can still make a 'NYC weekend' out of it.

KatiesMom Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Posted February 21, 2005 I'll keep the Jersey Hyatt in mind.In the meantime, I was checking on hotwire and saw a 3*, Downtown/Soho, Best Value, with amenities: fitness and laundry (self-service) for $107/night. Originally, I wasn't thinking about going for downtown/soho... but since we are having dinner at The River Cafe in Brooklyn, staying downtown or in Soho/Chelsea may be convenient coming back from the restaurant. Any ideas what the 3* might be? Also, I notice the board's Hotwire pinned listings say lower Manhattan rather than Downtown/Soho... one in the same?
thereuare Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Matches the Club Quarters Downtown.REVIEWS are generally OK.Hotwire sometimes renames zones and makes minor changes in the boundaries... our Lower Manhattan is one and the same.If you book please use THIS LINK to do so.
