yellowdog Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 rachelle - Welcome to betterBidding!I did a search at HOTWIRE for your stay since you have no luck with priceline. The best value I can find is one of the two 3* Sheraton's Clipper or Trader (my guess is Clipper) in the beach zone at $115. I did a search for 2 rooms for 2 adults and 2 children/room. Both the Yankee and Clipper are solid 3* hotels with resturants and pools. The Sheraton's is very close the port and around $10-$12 with cab from airportThe 4* Pier 66 is also at HOTWIRE for $340. But I wouldn't pay that for this hotel. Please use this HOTWIRE link if you decide to book.Let us know if you need any further help. Please post your outcome at the board.Good luck!Henrik.
