Priceline Hotel: Why is Manhattan so expensive 12/2-12/6?

[nocgirl]

I was orig awarded The Roosevelt in MTE 3.5 stars back in Oct for $150/night. Sister got ill and the trip got cancelled. Priceline refunded all my money. We have rescheduled for 12/2-12/6 and I cannot get a bid accepted for 3.5 stars for less than $200/night. At this rate I an going to haver to book a Hampton in Jersey (newark-harrison-riverwalk), the same one my hubby stayed at and they have a shuttle that takes you to Jersey Penn, then from there the train to Penn in NYC. That hotel is $139/night. I am thinking it might be worth a little inconvenience to pay this.

This particular weekend is one of the most popular in the pre-Christmas season.

If you do book via regular rate, I'd recommend trying the FABSAVE10 coupon (10% off each night) coupon via Orbitz or the 10NOV coupon ($10 off per night) via Expedia.com to see if either of those worked for the hotel in question.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE or Orbitz.com or Expedia.com links to start your purchase.

We had this same issue and ended up changing our dates for a much lower price. As the previous poster said, it is a busy week. The tree at Rockefeller Center is lit on the 3rd and there are a lot of holiday events starting that week. Good luck!
