We have just returned from a 5 day NYC visit. After searching the internet 3-4 months prior to our planned trip, we could not find any affordable hotels, so we took a chance on Priceline. We bid on a three star hotel, and went to $250, before they accepted our bid for a double room. We got a room with a king size bed, after requesting a two double beds. We were told that would be an additional $60 a night, even though the person I spoke to at the hotel made a note of it. We were aware Dec. 10-15 is prime holiday/tourist time, and the prices were soo high due to the time of year, but...this hotel isn't even close to a 3 star hotel. Aside from it being old, the elevators don't work, and neither does the staff. No one seemed too interested in making our stay pleasant, except for the house-keeper who made up our bed everyday with rumpled old sheets. The bathroom was cleaned, and the room was vacummed, but no soap or shampoo, and if there was any, there would not be anyplace to put it.There was a sandwich in the hallway for 2 days before I picked it up and threw it out. Not recommended at any price.
