Room Rate Drop Watch Thompson LES Still Under $200 Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 190 Allen St. [map], New York, NY, United States, 10002
November 10, 2008 at 12:12 PM | 1 Comment
Welcome to Room Rate Drop Watch where we chronicle the plummeting prices at hotels that once commanded top dollar rates. These are often found in big cities with seemingly more hotel rooms than visitors like Las Vegas. But sometimes you can get lucky in the city of your choice. Seen a room rate drop so low you wanna tell us about it? Do it here.
Last week, we almost couldn't believe it when we found that the Thompson LES was going for $170 a night on Quikbook in the days before Thanksgiving. A new hip hotel in New York for under $200? We haven't seen this like, ever. But it was true and we booked it.
Then over the weekend, a reader emailed us a rate of $136 for Thompson LES the night before Thanksgiving on 11/26. Sadly, when we skipped over to QB to check it out the rate had gone up to $178. But that's still under $200. And if you go to the Thompson website, rooms start at $229.
The hotel is running the special on Quikbook through the month of November. In December, rooms jump back over the $200 mark.

$350 per night to stay in a room the size of a cupboard and had mould in the room

There seems to be a NY listing on here every other week with all the information you should require but I don't know how to use the search on this forum. It doesn't usually work for me

Visit NEW YORK ๐บ๐ฒ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by bullet on Jan 8, 2009 0:32:07 GMT 1, well when i went in the summer it looked a big from the outside to be honest. A lot of places in NY are scabby unless you pay top dollar. There is only a couple of nice ones and they are booked out constantly. Just remember you get what you pay for. I paid ยฃ95 a night when the exchange rate was ok and there was a mousetrap under the bed, shared bathroom (that was ok) and the morning coffee was out of a sachet downstairs.
nice vending machine though...

I walked the whole city in 7 days literally all the way down the hudson to brooklyn bridge and up the other side before i got sore feet and got a cab to a burger joint.
walk everywhere, go to greenwich village and get lost. its all good.
where you are staying is a very busy area as times square is right behind your hostel. nice and central. when i went i was staying up on the upper west side central park - now that was cool.

The Conor Harrington is on Washington somewhere in between Little W 12th street and Bethune Street (I think). Sorry that sounds confusing but it's a small area so it shouldn't be to hard. There's a great Jef Aerosol there to.

The Ratatouille in the Meatpacking District is worth viewing. Then walk down to The Spotted Pig for the best burger in New York followed by one of the magic bars from The Magnolia Bakery (where you can take advantage of your Scottish accent to hit on all the chicks waiting in line).

Well, that's what the tour guide told me when I did the bus tour!! (which i TOTALLY recommend, I know it's touristy but it's also insanely useful for giving you a sense of bearings which you'll need for later in the week)

I were wondering if anyone could recomend any good shows or galleries and even certain areas that are best to see street art. If you can think of anything else that might be worth seeing while Im there, thanks Paul.
