joe613 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Posted November 29, 2006 Any area in manhattan would be fine. I would perfer kepping it to a four star rating if my price range would allow.

joe613 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Posted December 7, 2006 I noticed the dates i posted were far more expensive then the next week. Firstly, I was wondering why that was. Secondly I changed my mind and decided to go the following week. The dates are, check in on Dec. 19 and check out on Dec. 20. I hope someone can advise me on the best way to book a room. Once again any area in Manhattan would be fine, just looking for the best possible room in the $200 to $250 range. Thanks a lot.
