at normal times you could find a hotel for less than 200$ because the village has a huge range of hotels (check booking and view the map) — but I agree to year End Party there may be other prices. I have always been there in Summer visiting the landscape of Mountains by cable car or cog Railway up to Gorner Grad — so at least 2 to 3 nights will be fine if you want to see more. I recommend also Lucerne (very nice city) but too far for a day trip to Zermatt. If you have to stay outside than stay near to railway in Zermatt Valley!
