I just replied to the Philly ... So sorry I forgot!!!

 

I dont even know where to start on this one.... I dont know what is going on in the area but the prices are crazier than ever and lots of hotels are sold out... it is a Tuesday night really odd. I will even use Hotwire.

Have you bid so far? If so, what zones and what star rating/bid?

 

Are you seeing any HOTWIRE listings within your desired budget? If so, please provide the star rating, zone, price per night and full list of amenities (you may need to use BiddingHelper.com and then click "Hotwire Easy View".)

Can i ask what your plans are that only Times Square is acceptable?

 

You will likely find better value outside of the zone yet can still stay very close to it for easy access.  As well, if this were the only area you intended to spend your time for this one nite in NYC (which i would bet you will spend far less time here then you think), why not stay just outside of the zone and have a 10 minute walk to it... or save $40 on a hotel room and spend $10 on a taxi ride (which will have you at a net savings overall)
