PP here. Awesome! Have fun. I Booked in September. Amtrak $50 each round trip. St James $306 per night including taxes and fees. Bonus was I was able To get the show tickets I really wanted.

So many hotels opted to co-op with their politicians and now all their rooms are reserved for migrants. Very few hotels are available for anyone else.

Is anything going on??? Is that a serious question...?

Hotwire has some hotels for that weekend in the $400-$500 range but that is without the fees.

Do yourself a favor and do NOT go that weekend! Santacon is on the 14th and the city will be overrun by drunk, rowdy people in Santa costumes. Getting around will be difficult, cabs will be hard to come by. And hotel prices will be ridiculous!

Sunday night into Monday sometimes has deals. You’re better off going in January or February, especially not on mlk or Presidents’ Day weekend. But yeah, expect it to be at least $400/night for manhattan.

I thought the same, so expensive this year

The NY Times did a story about how crazy the hotel rates are right now in NYC. It is a combo of some cheaper hotels being used to house migrants, the air BNB restrictions and a change in zoning rules that made it harder to build new hotels. If you can wait until January, hotel rates are lower. I just booked a room at a hotel I like for $250/night for MLK weekend

NYC is always like this at Christmas time. We are planning our trip for just after christmas this year. Taking our kids who love the city but have never been at Christmas.

Christmas. The holiday season is going on.

It’s December in NYC. Nothing more needs to be going on. Don’t come, it’s super crowded and expensive.

want to visit NYC during 13-16th December weekend but the prices are crazy. I go to NYC very regularly but have never seen prices at this level. Is there anything going on? I couldn't find it.
