For four days only (through 5:00 pm on October 3rd), Quikbook is offering rooms at a group of hotels in Miami, Orlando, Chicago and NYC at killer prices.
Here were our faves:
· Score a room at the Hudson in NYC for $246.
· If you're headed to Disney World, a room at the Gaylord Palms can get down to $166.
· In the mood for Chi-town? Try The Belden Stratford at Lincoln Park for only $144.
· And if Miami strikes your fancy as the weather gets colder wherever you are now, you can snag a room at Gansevoort South (if you dare) for $236.

If you're thinking about heading to Manhattan this summer in July and August, Quikbook is offering a 72-hour sale on some hot NYC hotels.
You must book these deals by Friday at 5pm EST. They are valid for dates from July 1 - September 1, except where noted. Blackout dates do apply.
· Six Columbus: $170 for one night.
· City Club: $199.
· The Hudson: $179 a night for stays of two nights or more. $209 for one night. · The Hotel on Rivington: $251
· Thompson LES: $255 a night but it's only good for the month of August.
When we searched July 25 for hotels, the only one that offered its advertised rate was City Club at $199 a night. The rest were slightly more. A month later, in the dead heat of August, we did find advertised rates for Thompson LES and Thor. So remember to check several possible dates if your travel plans are flexible.
Last week we received a distress call from one of our friends who had just arrived after long cross-country flight in New York to the Six Columbus Hotel.
Our friend had actually booked the hotel after reading about it in our HotelChatter Reader Deals when Quikbook was offering 10% off two nights or more. He paid $360 a night for four nights in a queen-bed room.
Yet instead of being whisked away to his room to relax, our friend was pulled aside by the General Manager and over a complimentary drink at the bar, was told that the hotel did not have a room for him.
Naturally, our friend was shocked. Where was he going to go? How would he get there? The GM's only explanation for the lack of a room for our friend was this:
Sometimes people don't always check-out when you want them too.
Riiigghhht. That's really just hotel-speak for "We oversold our rooms tonight."
The winter season of hotel deals is completely over in Manhattan and from now on through next year, prices are going to climb tremendously.
If you wanna see NYC, you better hurry and book quick before the summer tourist onslaught.
Quikbook is currently having a 72-hour sale that started yesterday and runs through Friday, April 11th until 5pm EST. The deal is offering 15 percent off certain hotels.
Two hotels of note:
· The Night Hotel: Rooms start at about $187 a night plus 15 percent off through September 15, 2008.
· The Hotel on Rivington (THOR): Rooms start at $251 a night plus 15 percent off. Offer also good through September 15, 2008.
Just remember, you need to book these rooms by Friday, April 11 at 5pm EST. And of course, rates over the weekends were a little higher than during the week so if you're flexible you'll save more money.
