Hotwire Hotel: Prices unusually high? NYC Late Nov, early Dec

[tetley14]

Looking for a stay in NYC November 27 - December 4.

Midtown East or West, Times Square type areas.

 

Are the prices higher than normal? What event is on that I have neglected? Is this the early start to peak season?

Appreciate any help you may offer?

obviously I have been living under a rock and Thanksgiving is the day before.. people making a long weekend of it?

This is actually in the middle of peak season for NYC, but this weekend is actually one time during hi-season where rates drop.

If you search separately for 11/27-11/30 (Friday --> Monday) i think you'll find fairly reasonable pricing... but rates taking a sharp spike higher for 12/1-12/4.

What is your expected budget per nite (before fees/taxes) for this stay? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

if you are flexible and can delay your trip a bit I think you'll find hotel prices drop in the latter half of December, up until Dec 27/28.  For example Dec 14-27.  Then they skyrocket for New Years.
