New York City hotel suggestions anyone?? Help. We are traveling to NYC on vacation in April and I was wondering if any of you YT'rs have hotel recommendations, we would like to stay near Time Square at a moderate price range. Any Ideas??? Tammy |
well nothing in NYC is cheap... and if it is... it's sketchy... i have stayed at the econo lodge on 8th and 47th... there was blood on the sheets and the phone cord was cut out of the wall.. yikes... so last time we stayed at the hilton garden Inn on 8th and 48th i believe... it was beautiful.... a bit more expensive but when i'm on vacation i want a hotel to be somewhere i can retreat to after a long day.. and the garden inn was ideal.. right SMACK dab in the middle of everything :) |
Rated #1 for all New York City hotels What is to dislike about the Plaza. It's like being in a dream :) .My hubby surprised me with a night's stay for my birthday..It was last year but I still talk about it to anyone who will listen .I felt like a Queen.The care and treatment was the best I've ever experienced.I slept like a baby in the most luxerious suite.. Go to the Plaza even if it's for 1 night.It's well worth it.:thumbup: It's a bit pricey but lovely Fifth Ave & Central Park South New York City, NY 10021 |
Nothing on TS (Times Square) is economical...lol. But that's not to say that you can't find some deals on great hotels if you hunt them down. We do a lot of travel to NYC and here are my choices for TS: W-NY-TS Marriott Marquis-TS Night Hotel QT (one of my favs) that's were I saw Cyndi Lauper one night in the bar |
Oh one more thing - depending on what's going in in NYC at the time really dictates the pricing - right now rooms are going for $329 and up but I just called our travel dept. and the EconoLodge TS is $170.99. The Hampton TS is $329. The hotels I listed in the previous posts are either major chains or boutique hotels. :D |
I prefer the smaller hotels. The last place I stayed I LOVED and would totally stay there again. It was in a perfect location to walk to everything. It's like little apartments. http://www.buckinghamhotel.com/ YOUR HOTEL: Buckingham Hotel 101 W 57th St 57th St & 6th Ave New York, NY 10019 Hotel Phone: 212-246-1500 |
We spent 3 nights at the Hilton Doubletree Guest Suites right AT Times Square...1568 Broadway, in April of 2006. What a great location!! And they have the BEST chocolate chips cookies in your room when you arrive!! We saw them filming a scene from the movie 'Enchanted' right across the street!! It was the part where the guy was sticking the sword into the top of the bus! |

I used to live in Manhattan. My recommendation is that you stay nowhere near Times Square. It's touristy, crowded, kinda shady, and you will pay a lot more money for things around that area. You will also have a hell of a time finding cabs. I love the W hotels, the Union Square one and the Court in particular. If you know what you will be doing while you are there, and what you want to see, I can help you pick the perfect hotel in the perfect area. |

Is there a reason you have to stay in Times Sq...I mean, it's pretty touristy/garish. If you must, I'd recommend the W on Times Sq (I think it's the one w/ the water over the entrance). Otherwise, there are so many more charming places to stay. I stayed a bit more upper east - and absolutely loved it. Wasn't too far - but far enough from the touristy bleh to be charming NY-ish - close to Central Park, museums, cab access, everything. I adore SoHo - that's really fun too. |

I guess TS is good too if you plan on attending Broadway Shows or even doing some touristy things like go to Rockefeller Center, etc. Or the Rodger Williams is nice and that's near Macy's and Central Park. ;) |
New York No reason to really stay in TS, but just thought it may be easier to get around if staying there, since there will be 4 women with no sense of direction, we will be doing the usual sightseeing, hoping to take in a play also. Please keep the ideas coming. Tammy |

I stayed at the Paramount 2 years ago in April. The hotel is really funky and quite cool. The rooms are kind of small, but how much time will you really spend in the room anyway? I don't believe they serve breakfast in the hotel, but there is a little diner/breakfast place right next to it, and they have great food. :) and the hotel's prices aren't bad either. Its right off of TS -- I believe its on W 45th or 46th. Last July we got a great deal on a room at the Marriott, so I'd suggest that, but we only stayed there because we got a great deal -- its usually really expensive. But incase you're interested in it, there is a concierge's (sp..ouch) lounge with free internet, and its right in the middle of TS. :) Have fun! |
I've only stayed at Club Quaters but I think that hotel is for business affiliates or something. It was nice enough and close to it all. If I were going there for a weekend trip with the girls I would stay as close to Times square as possible. Even if it is touristy that is the type of atmosphere that you expect when you visit NYC IMO (for the record I live in NY but am no where near NYC) |
