(Hello, people! We are knowledgeable about other cities too!) Nevertheless, New York is still a popular place to be and hotels are taking advantage of that this fall. Last week we were on a mission to find a nice hotel room for $200 a night for October 16-19 and boy was it tough. When Hotwire is showing you rates of $259 and up, you know things are not looking good. Fortunately, we were able to find our friends a room for $199 for the first night at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Roosevelt+Hotel+New+York/local/2737">Roosevelt</a> and about $239 for the following nights.

Summer is officially here and you've got the urge to book a flight+hotel (or two or three) for a summery getaway. But while we've all begrudgingly accepted that airlines are extra fees-obsessed (baggage fees, leg room fees, change fees, security fees, early boarding fees, etc.), we're disheartened to see that more and more hotels are acting like airlines these days by charging big fees for little extras. Here are five of the top offenders so far: <a href="">5.

Would the food be as sexy as its surroundings? Short answer: yes. The duck salad ($12) was delish meaty, tangy and with something slightly crunchy somewhere in the mix. The flatbread was very decent, if a wee bit dry. And the bread juliab 2011-06-09T11:28:37-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
