After the price surge of the holidays, hotel rates in New York City generally drop come January and February -- before they peak again in March and April as travelers visit for spring break. But this winter in particular has seen a significant drop in prices, which is exactly why you should book a quick getaway to NYC right now! Perhaps for a little Valentine's Day weekend rendezvous? Here's why prices are so low this year:
1. Bad weather. If you can get to NYC, you can find a deal -- because many travelers are getting stuck at home thanks to the snow and sleet.
2. Airbnb. The beloved short-term apartment booking site directly competes with boutique hotels, thereby driving hotel rates down.
3. Weak euro.The euro is weaker than it once was, keeping continental tourists at bay.
