Priceline Hotel: Looking for help with one night close to the Beacon Theater NYC

[marty1966]

First let me say that I just noticed that it has been 10 years nearly to the day that I first posted on this site!  It has been a while but I'm having a tough time with the theater district NYC.

 

My son and I are seeing a show at the Beacon on November 2nd and would like to stay somewhere close-ish to the theater, but would have no trouble being a reasonable Uber ride away.  It's been forever since we have been to New York City and holy shnikies, prices are ridiculous.  I have a cuz that can hook me up with Marriott friends and family and even his rates are in the 400's for anything in Manhattan.

 

SO I guess what I'm looking for is some help finding a 4* hotel within a couple of miles of the Beacon.  New Jersey and LI City are out, have done both and the back and fourth to the hotel is a bit of a pain.

 

Looking to try to keep it to $300 all in.  Maybe that puts me in a 3.5* and that's cool also.

 

Thank you all!

The reason for prices being so high for this nite is that the NYC Marathon is on 11/3, so runners (and friends/family who cheer them on) from all over the world are in town for the event.  As there are parties/gathering/events for participants throughout the week leading up to Sunday, even those more local to the area stay a nite or two in the city in order to participate as well as to be 'fresh' for an early wake-up on Sunday.

 

The least expensive offers i'm seeing for your dates (so you can decide if the proximity to the Beacon is worth the savings or additional cost):
