Welcome to BetterBidding!

Few questions regarding your stay/post...

Is there a specific hotel that you're seeing on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE EXPRESS that shows 'Restaurant' and 'Internet' amenities OR are you saying that these are amenities that you would like your hotel to have?

What is your expected budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this stay?

Unfortunately rates are high for these dates (it's high season in NYC) and your maximum budget of $160/nite is not going to be close to what is likely currently needed at this time to win a 3* or better hotel in Manhattan for these dates... you'll more likely need to be in the $225-$250 area.

Are you able to increase your budget, lower your star rating, or stay outside of the city and commute in each day?

???

Given rates are quite a bit more then you expected, what is your gameplan for this trip? (or will you cancel the trip if beyond your budget?)

Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com, what is the best deal you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for these dates?
