Planning to come to New York for the holidays? You might want to push back your dates a week or two, as more than a dozen central Manhattan hotels will offer rooms for $100 a night as part of "Hotel Week 2014." The promotion covers rooms booked for stays between January 3-12, 2014.
What's the catch? Well, there really isn't one. This post-holiday period is historically a very slow one for the city's tourism industry, as visitors get back to work and recover from holiday expenses. The "Hotel Week" initiative aims to lure tourists to town with 30 participating hotels offering rooms at $100, $200 or $300 per night.
As good Cheapos, we were primarily interested in the $100 per night hotels. Here's the list and how to get the cheap rates:
