Priceline Hotel: Hotel Mela -- through Quickbook

[seningen]

Having no luck for 2 months bidding on PL for NYC.

Needed a back up plan -- used the Quickbook

and secured the Mela Hotel at $252/nt.

Way more than I'd care to pay (I'm cheap!) -- but I'll take it as it appears

to be a great price compared to anything else Ive seen on a ton

of sites.

I'm still hoping to find something that works better -- but I can live with this if I have to.

Only 48hrs left on my window to cancel.....

so the clock is ticking.

thanks to this site -- I at least have options.

i am in nyc now and can't find anything even remotely reasonable for that period - i need a hotel as well - right now i am booked thru tuesday but nothing after weds... almost everything is completely booked - just search on hi or hilton or spg - and prices are more insane than normal

even hotwire has almost NOTHING for these days

and btw the hotel mela on your link shows no availabity - so you might have the last room :)

EasyClickTravel has the Times Square Hilton at $326.

We're also traveling 4/27-4/29, no luck with PL so I just booked EasyClickTravel Holiday Inn Midtown (3.5 stars) for $228/night (2 adults, one child), waiting to hear confirmation

Does anyone know what is going on that weekend that would have the entire city booked?

If there is a part of town to avoid I just want to be prepared -- :-)

so far i have not heard of anything out of teh ordinary - but almost every single chain is completely booked - everything in hilton/hi/spg is gone - its scary frankly. even diamond on hilton is not getting me anything under $800.

:) i may have to go to newark airport!

the only thing i see signs for is the NFL draft but i cant imagine that is booking up the entire city

the weather in late April tends to be a bit more moderate than in January and February, this results in more travellers visiting, increasing demand for hotel rooms.

The Tribeca Film Festival will take place from April 25 - May 6, 2007. Maybe that's the reason why...
