Use our Group Name: "Fordham
Univerity / Critical Theory Roundtable" (If that doesn't work,
try the booking number: 801103).
Reservation
cutoff date: August 19.
After that, they
may be entirely booked. See below
for reasons why it would be a bad idea to miss this cutoff date. To avoid one night's charge,
cancellation must be 3 days prior to arrival.
Other
Options:
The
fall is high
season in NYC and the hotels generally have 90% occupancy, so there are
no
special deals to be found. Believe
me, I have looked. But
you can do a
general search of NYC hotels at this website: www.nyc.com/hotels.
Anything
less than
$200 on this site seems to be not in Manhattan or if in Manhattan it
involves a
shared bathroom. Before booking a
hotel, I recommend using www.tripadvisor.com
to see what people are saying
about
it. Note that there will be an
additional 13.375% sales tax + $3.50 occupancy tax added to the price
per
night.
Here
are some of
the very few places I can find that still have rates less than our
Wellington
rate:

$41-45,
depending
on degree of privacy
To
give a sense of
how booked things are, a number of hotels I have contacted before in a
range of
prices are now completely booked for that weekend: Washington Square
Hotel,
Chelsea Lodge, Larchmont Hotel, Gershwin Hotel, Chelsea Savoy,
Cosmopolitan. And all of the
larger hotels I had contacted in the spring are now $299 and higher.
If you have any questions,
contact Jeff Flynn at jeflynn@fordham.edu,
or 347-308-2966.
