<p>You could also try one of the sites like expedia travelocity etc where you bid on rooms. I know people that use them and swear by them. </p>

<p>On these trips though I have searched for airfare and rooms on places like those and orbitz and actually found cheaper going straight to the sites. </p>
<p>With all these trips it really gets overwhelming. I had not planned on having a hotel in NYC at all - I just found out my girlfriend in NYC can’t get someone to take her dog which I’m afraid my daughter will be allergic to and I just can’t take the chance on her health. </p>
<p>These trips are my daughter’s graduation present and her spring break senior trip. She’s happy with that because there is no place she wants to go and nothing she wants more than the opportunity to audition for BFA programs.</p>
