Would you believe?
A friend needs a place to stay while he and his family wait for their closing date on a new condo. He called around to some local hotels. The Holiday Inn on Union Street gave him a rate of $359/per night (on the website it said $457). I was astounded and so was he.
The Marriott wanted $499./ night. Even more astounding.
He did find a good rate at the Comfort Inn on Butler between Third and Nevins ($189. a night). Have any OTBKB readers stayed there?
I’m wondering if these rates are high because it’s June: graduations, weddings, tourist season?
Anyone know?
I had 2 colleagues from Brazil stay at the Comfort Inn last November. One liked it enough to stay again when they came back to town later.
ahaha. Park Slope is the new Manhattan. Try CraigsList. Plenty of people have short term sublets. I’d offer my cute little apartment in Crown Heights if they’re still looking and the timing is right.
Yeah Man! A buddy of mine came into town for a week and I sent him over there(Holiday Inn) and they wanted around 400+ a night! I forget the exact rate but it was out of this world. That was maybe 3 months ago so I can’t say it was because of any special occasions. I figured a hundred maybe but no way. Why I don’t know. Wish it were different but…..
I just reserved a weekend in the middle of june for my dad at the marriot for $237 a night…
