Manhattan hotel rate comparison shows Four Seasons a no-haggle zone
A check on hotel rates at five New York hotels, using four booking methods -- Expedia, the hotel's own Web site, the reservation phone line and an in-person inquiry at the hotel's front desk -- showed interesting results, and one hotel that simply won't haggle. While phone calls and Web searches resulted in lower rates at the Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, a Marriott Courtyard and Westin New York, the rate at the Four Seasons New York remained the same -- even with an in-person request for a discount.
