Has anyone else noticed that hotels in New York for the weekend of October 18/19 are about 3-4 times their normal room rate? Finding a single room for under $300 is a challenge! What's the deal?

    Rates might come down closer to the date. In the meantime ... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=213168&p=5177397#p5154475.

    if you prefer/don't mind staying in a house or apartment, you can rent one near the venue at a much more reasonable rate than most hotels, and you get a much nicer place to stay in my opinion. check out: airbnb.com

    I got great little places steps away from the venues in Brooklyn and Philly.

    Thanks for the advice. I am going to the shows with a friend who lives in Manhattan (in a tiny studio apt or I would crash there) near the Flatiron district so trying to stay near there but may not be possible unless I want to spend a fortune.

    It'll be high price, as it's the start of the run-up to Christmas and people will be heading to NYC to start shopping. Plus it's NYC.

    Yes, it will be a fortune around there unfortunately.

    If you don't mind shared rooms/bathrooms, here are some hotels not too far from that area:

    Hotel 31
    Hotel 17
    Gershwin Hotel (have both shared and private)
    Ace Hotel (have both shared and private)

    And this sounds a bit dodgy but Bowery White House

    Haven't looked at rates so I have no idea what it's looking like for that weekend. I expect a standard room (not sharing anything) at a halfway decent hotel in Manhattan to be upwards of $250/night before tax.

    Would not recommend Jersey City or anything by the Path. The Path is great to get to Manhattan but then you have to switch to the subway to get to Brooklyn. It runs really frequently during the day but I think it's every half hour after midnight so getting home will be a pain in the you know.

    A friend of mine stayed here in 2000 and says for the price it is hard to beat. In Manhattan, not Brooklyn. Personally, if you're coming to these shows stay in Manhattan and not Brooklyn. Bars close at 4am, plenty of time to leave the show, get back to Manhattan and have a great night out.

    Bars close now? Wow, I haven't gone out partying in ages :lol::lol: I can't speak for Brooklyn but Manhattan is truly 24 hours so after the show you can go to a bar and after a bar you can get breakfast :D Then you can stop by a Duane Reade to buy all the toiletries you forgot to pack before you head back to your hotel. :D

    Yeah I'm gonna stay in Manhattan, my friend who I'm going to the shows with lives in Manhattan (in a 200 square foot studio, so no room for me).

    Just for the record those are normal NYC hotel rates every weekend.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    You're right. The Friday/Saturday rates are tough. I looked for a room for last weekend and there was nothin good under 350.

    Definitely check airbnb. But watch out for the 'cleaning fee'.

    Have you thought about staying in Queens/Astoria (Long Island City)? I booked at the Red Roof. It's about USD 120 per night for 2 people, but I booked it at hotwire.com for USD 86 (look for hot secret hotels).

    G train will take you directly to Brooklyn, Q train too, but runs through Manhattan. You can also access the 7 train that takes you to Grand Central, and then change to 4 or 5 train.

    It's definitely not Manhattan, but it's also not 300 dollars!!

    See you at the Barclays!!

    This guy is correct. 4th quarter of the year is the most expensive for hotels in NY, too. The bright side is, the hotel prices are the only thing that make rent look reasonable by comparison :lol:
