i stopped and said what? okay no.. not the sheraton manhattan.. i want this sheraton.. in plainview long island.. on the service road of the LIE next to a fabric shop.. with a view of absolutely NOTHING...
the lady at the counter shrugged her shoulders and said.. it's coming in at $255 a night..

Re: hotel quote..
ok, officially scared. I've put off room blocking for this specific reason. I know, I know, so counter productive. Maybe she didn't know what she was talking about. That sounds like WAY to much!

Re: hotel quote..
I THINK the Crest Hollow is nearby the Fox Hollow (still don't know Nassau county so well).
The best price I could get on a hotel in that are was the Executive Inn on Jericho Turnpike.. The price is $99 or $129 depending on the type of room you want.
If you want contact info - please let me know. I LOVE the girl i'm working with!!!

unfortunately though probably most hotels will jack up the prices for v-day. In manhattan the prices are insane many of the hotels are $500 and not even for v-day
Definitely shop around obviously and hopefully youll find a hotel that wont raise the prices bc of v-day

haha....maybe we do need to really meet up. We lived in VA for may years so we're worried that our friends from there may think we got all citified on them by our hotel choices! If it isn't the Super 8 & $60 per night we're gettin too big for our britches
