I have occasionally seen a room rate low of about 170 euros (weekend days) over the past 2-3 years but never anything like $160 (3-4 years ago 160 euro rates were often common) especially if including any weekdays. Amsterdam hotels are quite expensive considering the room age, room size updates, refurbs, smoke odors etc. I suggest try another city and use the excellent cheap Netherlands train system. I do and did last week. I just checked Nov 2-8 rates and got:

ADVANCE PCHASE BFAST INCL BUFFET BFAST. FULL CC DEPOSIT ON BOOKING
200.00 EUR QUEEN HILTON DELUXE ROOM Requested non-smoking
200.00 EUR TWIN HILTON DELUXE ROOM Requested non-smoking
285.00 EUR QUEEN HILTON EXECUTIVE RM Requested non-smoking
