Why are NY hotels more expensive in October

My wife and I are planning our first trip to NYC around October. I%26#39;ve noticed that hotels seem to be about 20% more expensive during this time. Is there are particular reason for this. Also any suggestion on mid price hotels in Midtown.



Why are NY hotels more expensive in October


More expensive than when? Summer prices are lower b/c many people don%26#39;t want to come in summer b/c of the heat. I don%26#39;t know that prices are higher in Oct. than Sept. and they%26#39;re much higher in Dec. during Xmas shopping season. Looking now for Oct. you%26#39;ll see high prices. Closer to the date they could go down. I%26#39;d book something cancellable and keep watching prices.





What%26#39;s your definition of midprice? Midprice in NYC is often what people consider expensive elsewhere. Radio City Apartments is a well loved budget hotel in the Times Square area that has apt type rooms. radiocityapartments.com





The Hampton Inn Times Square north is an older building that%26#39;s been redone and gets very good reviews here.





The Courtyard Fifth Ave. is in a very nice location and is getting very good reviews too since Courtyard took over the hotel.

nywhiz`s suggestion to book something cancellable now is an excellent one, as surely prices will come down as October gets closer. Towards the end of August, check out New York/Lodging at travelzoo.com. They almost always have great hotel deals.




the fall is when the ';season'; starts-new Broadway shows,new museum exhibitions,opera ,all that sort of thing so New York is packed then.




I%26#39;ve also found that October is a big convention time of year.



My favourite mid price hotel is the Belvedere and I usually book on quikbook.com for a good rate.
