Priceline Hotel: NYC 4/14/05 - 4/17/05 (last minute!)

[scousette]

My husband and I just decided to head to NYC to celebrate our first wedding anniversary this coming weekend. We'd ideally like to stay in a boutique hotel rather than one of the big chains, although we've got a budget (around $200/night ish) so we realize this might not be possible. Would bidding for a 4* or 5* hotel on Priceline be the way to go (in which case does anyone have any bidding suggestions), or would going for an "Off The Record" hotel on EasyClickTravel be better?

I've used Priceline before for NYV hotels, but this is a special occasion so I'd aiming to make a more informed decision this time :)

Thanks in advance for all advice!

Forgot to mention that we're looking at MTS, MTE, SoHo, then other areas (in that order)

Thanks!

EasyClickTravel may be the way to go since you're particular about the property received, but their site is currently down... we'll try to remember to look once it's back up but if you notice it works before we come back to this thread feel free to bump this thread and/or send us a PM.

PS- inventory is very tight this weekend

$273/night

Amenities include:

Restaurant(s)

Fitness Center

Tennis Nearby

Business Center.

From customer review: "Hotel is ideally located - near Grand Central Station, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Central Park. We walked just about everywhere. Room is a little small, but that's expected in NYC. There's a great store across the street for soda/snacks that is reasonable. I would highly recommend."

Thanks in advance! This forum is fab!

This is a match for the Inter-Continental and that would be our best guess.
