nyc





we-re lookin for a place with a pool and smoking at least 2 and a half


stars where shood i go to find a place like this at about 80-90 dollars a night?What website should i go to for a cheap hotel?
honestly, i would search travelocity or priceline and use their lowest rate finder. then i would go to that hotel's website or call them and book with them directly (travelocity, priceline, orbitz, and all other hotels MUST have the same rate as the hotels. They cant underbid the hotel itself, or else you can complain the hotel for a free night.) When you're booking with them directly, tell them your considering booking with the 3rd party service unless they beat the price. You'll get 10-20% off.





The reason they will give you a better deal is because 3rd party websites take a 10-40% skim (right now since the travel industry is down, theyre giving 3rd party companies a higher skim in an effort to bring in more business)... but they'd rather give you a discount then the entire skim to the 3rd party. Its 15 minutes of legwork, but I do this to hotels and when you stay like 3 nights, you can save about $100 total trip at a real nice place.





Good luck...What website should i go to for a cheap hotel?
