ali38 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Posted June 24, 2008 looking for sept 14th(sun) at about $200. 3* or better on the west side midtown nyc
thereuare Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 I see a great deal available for what i believe is the 4* Inter-Continental Barclay (comments)... it's just $179/nite but in the MTE zone. However, as you may recall from your previous trip to NYC, mass transit is relatively inexpensive and readily available. You could easily take a cab from the hotel to Penn Station for $10 or less and this is the best 'bang for your buck' on the nite above... as well as being centrally located for seeing the sights in the city.Would this work for your needs?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

awum Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Whoa! I'll take 4* in MTE in September for $179 -- where'd you see that?
thereuare Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Rates are date specific and the above may not be available for your 7 nite New York City stay... we'll get to your thread soon.
