<icontent>     I am not sure if the prices are going to go up or down. do i leave it to get a last minute deal or should i just book now? I like the look of Sugar Hill after reading the reviews on TA. Any advice is appreciated.   </icontent>

<rcontent>     If the property has a liberal cancellation policy book ASAP - then if prices go down you can renegotiate your deal and take advantage of the better value.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Sugar Hill is in Harlem, not the most central location for a visit. What about it appeals to you? What exactly are you looking for? Most b &amp; b&#39;s don&#39;t have very liberal cancellation policies and I&#39;d guess if they increase their rates for next year, you might have to pay the increase anyway if you book now, unlike hotels who will hold a price once you&#39;ve reserved.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Try here    www.bedandbreakfast.com    Yes Sugar hill is nice. I also think 1871 house is nice also.    If it&#39;s a B&amp;B I would book it now. If you are more into prices (deals)I would choose a suite hotel then that you can cancel. I &quot;think&quot; I could be wrong,that the B&amp;B&#39;s would have more standard rates. A hotel you would get more of a deal sort of thing.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     I agree Sugar hill is very nice, and location is great if you want to stay away from the hussle and bustle as well as get a great neighbourhood feel. The subways will get you where you need to be in no time.    I also agree that you should book fairly far in advance. B&amp;B&#39;s in NYC are usually first form of accommodations to be booked before hotels.    Yes, they have strict cancelation policies, this is due to the uncertainty involved in rebooking rooms on short notice. Cancelations affect tehse establishments greatly and they have non recoverable costs. Further more, these establishment do not intentionally overbook like many hotels in the event of a no show or cancelation. Both of which are rare for a B&amp;B.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Sorry for the late reply nywhiz. We have already booked four nights at the Hudson so we thought we would stay somewhere else and more affordable to us. I thought Harlem would be a nice change as we live in country nsw (australia) and not many opportunities to experience different experience, if you know what i mean. Thanks everyone for your advice so far.   </rcontent>
