And I thought London was unreasonable.
Friends are throwing a party in New York in late October, and we thought we'd go up. Best I can figure, the airfare -- FOR TWO -- will be cheaper than a single night in a Manhattan hotel.
A survey of the various websites reveals that just about any midtown hotel is going to run upwards of $300 per night. The Hampton Inn Times Square North is running a whopping $369 per night, according to SideStep. The trend Hotel Gansevoorst is a mind-boggling $772.
Good grief!
I resort next to the opaque sites -- Hotwire and Priceline -- where you find out post-booking exactly where you're staying. Their inventory was severly limited and just as disgustingly expensive.
The best deals I saw were on hotels.com, where you can actually book a room for under $200 -- but only if you book within the next 24 hours. It's a sale.
Got any reasonably-priced ideas for New York? Share them. At these prices, I can't even afford the Days Inn.

Try Affinia Dumont, 150 E34th...it's become our hotel of choice (when we can get in)...corner rooms on upper floors have great views...furnishings are modern and comfy-nice bathrooms (small but smartly done) and the staff is so-o-o-o nice.
