What's the best way to get a good deal on a hotel in NYC? I'll be there for Thanksgiving Nov. 27-29. I've read some people have had good luck with Priceline but I am a little leary of using them and ending up somewhere I don't want to be. Plus, I will be there with my son and we need two beds and it seems they won't guarantee bedding.

So far I have been able to find the OmniBerkshire for $199 per night and The Roosevelt for $159 and a few others. Does anyone have an opinion on those two hotels or suggestions for others? I really need to stay under $200 per night.
