I have an all-day meeting Thursday a block or two from Grand Central. I figure that the smartest thing to do is take the train down from New Haven on Wednesday night, stay over, then hoof it to the meeting on Thursday morning.

Does anyone have any recommendations for something reasonably priced (250-300) or have any ideas when/how is the best time to book? Does it make sense to wait until Wednesday afternoon and book through something like Expedia?

TIA

Why not just drive into NYC and park it there for the day and have your wife/gf come into the city for some dinner and then head back to CT after rush hour? Probably cheaper than the $250-$300 you expect to spend for a night in a hotel.

But if you insist on staying over, I'd try Priceline for a cheaper rate at a 4-5 star hotel. For a small fee, you can see the selections now before you book them.

use priceline.com and lowball a room for 1 night.

Mr. Mom

stay at the donald's 1st big project, the marriot on top of Grand central.


Convenient....

If the hotel cost gets over $300, I'll have a tough time making a case to management.

I'm worried more about getting to the meeting on time than getting out afterwards.

I have not used priceline. Isn't there a possibility that I could end up in a sh!thole?

Use www.biddingfortravel.com to help figure out the going rates. 4 star is generally pretty good. My last stay for a 4 star bid was the Westin off Broadway.
