Priceline Hotel: 2* 12/29 - 1/02/12

[willwill]

So, i'm taking my girlfriend to NYC during new years, i know it won't be cheap. I am guestimating around 1k including hotel and flight before anything else. I plan to get a rent a car for a few days. I am leaning more towards going the newark route, and i also am not sure bidding is even an option for these dates... Most places are either already sold out, or they will be soon. Any thoughts or strategies for this? We don't expect to stay in city, not going to pay 300 a night, so i'm leaning more towards Newark as our only option, unless there is a NYC option? No mice,roaches.... heh

Arrival date 12/29 mid morning, leaving around 6pm on 01/02/12

Tampa to NYC

I would sooner look towards Meadowland-Rutherford and/or Secaucus-North Bergen and look at the higher rated hotels (not sure i would bid 2* in either of these zones, especially not the Secaucus-North Bergen zone as you could end up on Rte 1&9 which is not where you wan to be.

What is the hotel budget for this stay?
