Re: OMG: Gansevoort South's $99 Room Rate is For R

This is not surprising. A huge amount of money went into this hotel (and it's still costing the owners money, as construction/finishing continues) so they really just need to keep the rooms filled and the cash flowing. Also,  July and August always bring cheap rates to Miami Beach hotels - even though it's not really any hotter than, say, April, New Yorkers aren't spending any time down this time of year when they can just hop a train to the Hamptons or Jersey Shore. That said, I'd rather be at the Gansevoort for $99/night in July than the Surf Club in Montauk for $450/night + 50 degree water.
