I like the Palmer House and I am sure that you could get a good deal there at short notice. -- JohnT |

When I said "not too expensive" I meant it in the English sense of "fairly
cheap" and not (as it seems) in the American sense of "really costly".. DC "jessica_smith_nyc" wrote in message ...

Someone used to staying at Four Seasons might find the weekend rate at a Hyatt or Hilton to be reasonable. Someone expecting to pay Motel 6 prices is going to be disapointed. |

I think I didn't allow for differences in English & American expectations..
In England I would say it is fairly normal to ask the question without specifying a rate and assuming that others would think likewise.. I was tempted by The Palmer House Hotel but recent reviews all complain about the noise caused by renovation which put me off.. dc "Mr. Travel" wrote in message . .. dc wrote: When I said "not too expensive" I meant it in the English sense of "fairly cheap" and not (as it seems) in the American sense of "really costly"..

I spent 2 nights in the Hampton Inn over the weekend and would recommend it
to anybody. The rooms are a decent size, the bathroom is large and the service was great... DC "dc" wrote in message ... I finally booked the Hampton Inn Majestic for around $200 a night..

Stepped into the ballroom to enjoy the ghosts dancing to big band music and live radio broadcasts. I stayed there between Christmas and New Years. They're doing some renovations, so there are some good deals. The sleeping rooms are finished, I believe. It's the meeting rooms and shops that are being redone. |
