Is it that important to be along the route of the parade? You may not get such an inexpensive deal on Thanksgiving for hotels along Broadway and CPW. Besides, in the off-chance that you do get a deal, then you have to be the luckiest guy in town to get a room with a view!
Try the Red Roof Inn or the Hotel Pennsylvania near Penn Station for inexpensive and close proximity to the Parade.
