swlpong Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 I am going to New York with my wife for a week (July 15 to July 22). Last year I got Grand Haytt for $160 but that was rejected this time. Any idea what is the avg. price I should bid for a 4* Hotel around mid town?

swlpong Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Posted May 4, 2006 Yes, spliting is an option (but not more than one split). Any idea on what would be the best day to split off the stay (mid week? weekend?)
