Hi All
I just booked three nights in NYC in July at the 3*
Paramount on 46th for $112+tax on www.priceline.com, which
works out at $133 per night. The tripadvisor reports on the
hotel aren't glowing (apparently it's changing to the "Hard
Rock" hotel and is being refurbished - I'd be interested in
reports if anyone's stayed there), but I can't complain at
that price.
Three years back, I booked using priceline and that time I
booked the 4* Millennium on Broadway - for almost exactly
the same price.
Try priceline, but go to www.biddingfortravel.com first to
learn how to use it properly for multiple free re-bids.
Using that system, I also booked the Marriott Ohare for
tax-inclusive $67 and Singapore 4* Holiday Inn Atrium for
$84.
