But if you can steal away for some last-minute mid-week beach time, you&#146;ll score lower rates <em>and</em> not have to go to work.

Their latest NYC hotels sale features nearly all of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/thompson%20hotels">Thompson Hotels</a> with Smyth Tribeca going for as low as $145 a night and Thompson LES at $120 a night. <p>However, we were tickled to see <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247"><b>The Cooper Square Hotel</b></a> from $172 a night. Even better, we actually found that rate available for <b>next Friday, June 26</b>. The room is a lower-floor king bed room and we must warn you that you will probably be close to the hotel's outdoor patio bar, which can get <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/12/12457/2222/hotels/The_Cooper_Square_s_Neighbors_Hear_Your_Every_Drunken_Inanity_">kinda loud.</a> A juliana 2009-06-16T12:48:13-05:00 40.7277690 -73.990788 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/5/13/113943/485 <![CDATA[<p> <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/janeexterior2.jpg" class="top"><p> When <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Jane+Hotel/local/923"><b>The Jane Hotel</b></a> came on the scene it promised rooms at a bargain rate of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/12/5/122337/934/hotels/The_Five_Best_Hotels_Under_100_for_the_Newly_Laid_Off">$99 a night</a>.

That rate has dropped to $79 a night which is the rate we found for a night next week on <a href="http://www.quikbook.com">Quikbook.com</a>.
