Title: Where to stay in New York Post by: boldie on July 05, 2010, 10:04:36 PM Right, MrsB and myself have decided to go to New York for our holiday but the last time I went over (about...Oh 10 or so years ago....I am soo old) I stayed with a friend so I know nothing about the hotels (other than the blatantly big names like the Waldorf)
Anyone know of any good hotels, fairly close to Times Square/Broadway and all that sort of touristy nonsense? Doesn't have to be ridic cheap, but I'm no balla either. Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: Laxie on July 05, 2010, 11:18:25 PM Have sent an email to a friend who lives there. I'll post her suggestions once she gets back to me.

That place looks amazing, was it as good to actually stay there? Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: Longy on July 06, 2010, 01:54:59 AM I have stayed here the two times I went to NYC
http://www.jerseycity.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp Drawbacks it obviously isn't in Manhattan but it is right next to the PATH station which is $1.75 10 minute ride to Manhattan. Positives it is a damn sight cheaper than Manhattan especially if you bid on Priceline (I paid $75/nt last yr) and the view across the Hudson is incred.

http://www.cityclubhotel.com/ Walking distance to times sq, Broadway. Stayed there three times (each time on business account, fortunately) and its the nuts. I thoroughly recommend it Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: WarBwastard on July 06, 2010, 02:19:19 AM Still think this is the best kept secret, value hotel in all of Manhattan. http://www.wolcott.com/?WT.mc_id=2600 W. 31st - three blocks from the Empire State Building but with Jersey prices.

That place looks amazing, was it as good to actually stay there? yeah..only for 2 nights unfortunately. The place is owned by the same group who own soho house private members club in london and high road house in chiswick. I believe Jude law is one of the partners.

Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: boldie on July 06, 2010, 08:52:31 AM Staking fund couldn't get you to Miami mate? No..even with Blatch offering to put me up. :( Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: Longines on July 06, 2010, 11:34:58 AM I've stayed here a few times, both on business and pleasure. Quite a few international airlines use it for their crews which is usually a good sign. Excellent location for exploring on foot.

Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: Sack it off on July 09, 2010, 08:21:43 PM Park Central and Swiss hotel are both very very good.
Also stayed at the Waldorf Astoria which imo is well overated EDIT: Looks like Longines knows what he's talking about Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: boldie on July 09, 2010, 08:52:05 PM Thanks very much guys...Looked at everything, made my recommendation to MrsB...and was ignored (standard ;) )
Millenium @ UN Plaza it is. Even pointing out that UN plaza would be a main location for a terrorist attack couldn't persuade her lol Title: Re: Where to stay in New York Post by: Laxie on July 10, 2010, 03:13:19 PM The verdict from the Irish cousin was this place
