Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort - listed as ****, but some of the reviews are negative on some of the sites. We will see....

I'm not sure about how hotels will limit the days, but you may want to try three or four day increments at a time. Also, i would suggest waiting until it gets closer to the date. Good luck!

it was Westin St. Francis on Powell Street (Union Square)

Didn't expect to win the bid, but $69 was accepted for May 26-28. Not bad at all :)

Enjoy NYC - it's the land of the expensive restaurant! There are hidden gems though that serve cheap food...I'd recommend the Crocodile Lounge on 14th St, which gives you a free pizza with every beer ordered, or 2 Bros Pizza at St. Mark's Place, for $1 decent slices of pizza. Have fun!
