scottlevin Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 I bid up to $200 for a 4* in CPS, Hell's Kitchen, MTE, MTW, MSG, TS, ES, Downtown, and Chelsea.Then I did the same for a 3.5*. Up to $200. Nothing.Then I did the same for 3* but just for Hell's Kitchen, MTE, MTW, TS, and CPS. Nothing. At $200.This is for 11/6-7. Anyone know of any discounts through regular channels? The event we are going to is in the East Village. So maybe Brooklyn could work? Or Long Island City and then a cab? Also, we have seen a lot of "okay" deals on lastminutetravel.com but they are "on request." Does this mean they are unlikely?
scottlevin Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 Sorry to turn this into a liveblog, but ES has nothing at 3* at $200 either.
trigirl Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 That's the NYC Marathon weekend, hence why it's so expensive!
scottlevin Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 A-ha! That's the answer, thank you.
scottlevin Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 I bid Downtown 3* up to $195 and still nothing.
Romelle Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Have you looked at HOTWIRE (link is in the upper left corner)? Maybe one of the further out areas could be made to work for you? In similar circumstances, my son and I actually managed a 3 day visit from a Newark airport hotel. Tricky little airport shuttle/airport train/bus/train/train run, but we got quite good at it. There was a $99 rate at JFK for your date (which probably would be a little simpler than EWR too).Romelle
AaronJB Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Additionally, you may also want to consider looking at Travelocity's top secret hotel area for your dates, as well as what GTA Hotels.com has to offer.Please use the site's PRICELINE, HOTWIRE, Travelocity or GTA Hotels.com links to start your purchases and searches.
scottlevin Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Posted October 12, 2010 To close off this thread, we booked through regular channels. The Wall Street Inn for $229/night. This was great because we needed two double beds.Called the manager and got 10% off

zipruana Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Will the ING NYC marathon have an impact on the city that weekend? I have been bidding from November 4th to the 8th ( breaking up my bids for the MSG Times Square Chelsea and related areas with not much luck YET.
AaronJB Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 If this is Marathon weekend, that will certainly have an impact - the Chicago Marathon is one of the busiest hotel weekends of the year in Chicago.
thereuare Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Will the ING NYC marathon have an impact on the city that weekend?YES!! Historically it's a very expensive weekend in NYC.
