New York Fuckin' City Maaaaan (1 Viewer)

How does that priceline thing work? You say how much you're willing to spend and they find a room at that price? Seems a bit dodgey giving them your credit card details beforhand. I presume you don't have to take their offer. Though their William Shatner endorsement is encouraging.

Anyway, anyone ever stayed in the hotel carter(http://www.hotelcarter.com/index.shtml)? I've found an offer for it for $78 a night on 1800hotels.ie which seems like a great price for new york but they do say "
**Please be advised this is a hotel for the budget minded traveler.**"

In other words, shithole.

You pick the area of the city you want (or multiple areas), pick your star rating, bid a price and they find you a hotel. The catch is you do have to take the offer, they'll only go search once you've given them all your details and that. I've booked four hotels through them now (nyc, chicago, buffalo, baltimore) and all of them have really good reviews and i've paid about 30% of the real rates in each case (buffalo i'm paying $45 for a $250 room).

yeah, great location, but a lot of new yorkers shut down AC on date X, regardless of actual temperature.

They also fire up the heat on date Y, again regardless of the weather.

Talking to them is pointless.
A hotel though. Fucking hell.
Cunts indeed.

It rained all last night. The temperature has dropped down to about 23C now. Opened windows and everything. What a relief.

And again!! Hotel is swank as but for some reason FREEZING - maintenance dude - "we only do cooling now, on nov 1st (or something) we switch to heating". ARGH - been in NT for the last four months, 40 degrees every day, this 20 degree shit can fuck right off.

Williamsburgh is certainly in my top ten of fisting places. Keenly priced too.

The weather's gone to shite altogether alright.
I've resorted to getting the bus to work.
Buses man.
Sitting beside other people. Breathing in their dirty air. Touching off them.
Yuck. E.
