Accomodation Crisis
 

I am looking for a 3 or 4* hotel for 4-6 Dec and have been trying priceline with no luck. I now think that I've left it too late and the options on the other websites are now limited and too expensive. <BR><BR>Does anyone have any suggestions?<BR><BR>What would you recomend out of Thirty thirty, Ramada Plaza New Yorker, Empire, Hampshire Hotel and Suites (all $230-$280)?

Check out quikbook.com, if you haven't already.

Adele, can't specifically comment on the properties you listed, but here are a few suggestions, they are NOT 4 star hotels, but they are clean, safe and well-located. The DaVinci http://www.davincihotel.com/about.htm weekend rates are about $150 for a double. And there is always Habitat on Lexington Ave. Also if you're searching websites, try hotelkingdom.com I recently secured a very reasonable rate at Hudson using that site.

I have stayed at the Hampshire Hotel and Suites and it was a small room but still nice and clean.

Try the Edison in midtown. also try these two on the Upper West Side. Neither is very far from the Empire - Lucerne and Beacon. If Beacon is available by all means go for it. Each hotel has a website
