Just annoying this one. Yes, phoned Ramada, B/W and Sheraton and best "day rate" was Sheraton at $87 plus 13.25% tax. 100 bucks for a few hours sleep seems kinda steep. Asked about the UA "50% off" on night stay and that all came to $125 best deal!

The Hilton has nothing to do with the JFK airport property (or so Hilton tell me!) and I sure as heck am not sleeping on a park bench or at the airprt, not with 22 hours of flights coming up anyway! My dear lady will be MOST impressed!

I'll try Priceline again, altho as Sheryl rightly says, they might get p!ssed if you check in at 7am. I guess if you tell them you'll be out at 5pm, they may actually like it? Frees up that room for another stay. Airportt hotelds are at least used to wacky times of arriving /departure.
