    If you book it now you could probably find a decent rate in NYC. Maybe the 10C will have hotel deals like they have now and did in Philly and they were pretty good. Come on over...the Big Apple is Beautiful in the Spring.

    I'm not sure if you're joking about this hotel, but I've stayed there and am warning anyone that you get what you pay for.

    ...which believe it or not shares a stairway that gets you into the Hammerstein Ballroom/Manhattan Center. It's owned by the Mooney cult though - seriously, it is.

    Stay a little further away. You'll want to get around anyway, and it's pretty safe in most areas of mid-town... or at least it was 10 years ago when I worked there.

    The room I stayed at in Hotel Pennsylvania was a dump.
    Like someone said earlier, you get what you pay for.

    I I score tickets to MSG II, I'm going with Priceline name your own price deal. The only really expensive thing you get stuck with is the parking.

    I have been trying for a few days now. Slowly inching up my bid and playing around with areas. My latest failure was as follows:

    $166 for a 4 star in the "Times Square - Theatre District" for 5/20-5/23

    I then tried 3.5 star for $136 in same area

    then added "Madison Square Garden - Convention Area" and kicked it up to $141 for a 3.5 star.

    NO DICE

    really? i stayed there in '03, and the room was fine. granted, it was in a section of the hotel that had been recently renovated, or so i was told. but it was fine.. no complaints, and i could open the window and spit on the garden.
