Priceline Hotel: NYC 10/29 - 11/1

Hi there. I have the opportunity to go to NYC from October 29 to November 1, but I can also come one or two weekends later if there is a difference. I'm wondering if someone can give me a little guidance (before I book a flight) as to what I might expect to pay for a hotel? I have reviewed the posts on this forum but am seeing a very wide range of prices. I am a fairly adventurous traveller and am not looking for anything luxurious. That said, I do not want to stay in a dive. I read that you do not recommend the lowest classes of hotels in NYC because some of them can be dicey. Would a 3* be ok?

As for zones, I definitely want to stay in Manhattan, but other than that I am not overly concerned about the area that I stay in, as long as it is somewhere that I can get around (Subway) fairly easily. Do you think that I can get something for under $150 a night including taxes and fees?

These dates look lower then most around the same general timeframe... but a winning bid of ~$125 (which would come to about $150 after fees/taxes) is still probably a bit too low for this time of year. HOTWIRE has a 3* hotel in the Chelsea-MSG zone for $145/nite and this could be your 'price to beat' (or you could go with this offering given the positive 95% Recommended by HOTWIRE users and 4.0/5.0 Tripadvisor rating)

Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know what I decide but I might just book the tiny little rooms at The Jane ($99/night). If anyone has any comments on this, please feel free to let me know.

I'm seeing a $295 rate for the Jane on the hotel website and Expedia for these dates, unfortunately - only the private rooms appear available.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Just an update (requested by Aaron) that I didn't end up going on this trip.

Thanks for closing this thread.

Please remember to follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing for the stay, even if you choose to book direct, cancel your trip, etc.
