To the Editor: Regarding "$150 for a Room in Manhattan? 7 That Fit the Bill, More or Less" (Oct. 21), the key to the low price for the Sheraton Tribeca was probably the fact that it was a Sunday night, not the author's use of Priceline or Hotwire. I learned this trick a few years ago. High-quality chain hotels in Manhattan can offer rock-bottom rates for Sunday nights because that's the night they're most likely to have lots of unsold rooms. Think about it: business travelers stay Monday to Friday and weekend tourists stay Friday to Sunday, which leaves available inventory for Sunday nights. Last January I stayed at the Radisson Martinique at Herald Square for $119 on a Sunday night; two months before, I stayed in an identical room there for $379 on a weeknight. In June, my family and I stayed at a brand new, immaculate DoubleTree Suites property on 29th Street near Seventh Avenue on a Sunday evening and paid $107 (the rate was $119 with a further $12 reduction with my AAA or AARP card). We were walking distance from Herald Square, Times Square and the High Line. That same room would cost $399 for a weeknight.

To the Editor: I love how many people say they would never stay at a hotel that had any personality whatsoever. Please, please keep packing yourselves into Sheratons and Holiday Inns, eating at McDonald's, and getting your coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. That leaves all the places with character for me.
