Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: Raindogs on September 19, 2007, 08:06:10 AM It depends what you are looking for, basic or luxury. We went last September and stayed in the Travel Inn Hotel on 515 W 42nd Street which is right in the heart of the Theatre district and 5 mins from times square. The Hotel is fairly basic but the rooms are clean and big and in a great location. It's is not a high rise hotel either so you are not always taking lifts. We paid £121 per night (for 2) through Expedia and at the time that was a pretty good rate.
Personally if I was going back I would try and find somewhere around Greenwich Village as the Theatre district is very touristy. Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: Claw75 on September 19, 2007, 08:16:20 AM I would recommend not staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
Have fun! Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: TheChipPrince on September 19, 2007, 09:19:44 AM Have thought about going to, Feb/March time, havent looked at hotels tho... Cheapest flights i can find are £235 PP, anyone had cheaper than that previously?

Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: TightEnd on September 19, 2007, 01:47:30 PM this place is lovely
I was there paid by work at the time, but if the budget stretches........ http://www.gramercyparkhotel.com/index.html Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: winkie on September 19, 2007, 03:04:52 PM Going back a few years.. but myself & the missus stayed at the Novotel just off Times Square.
Nice hotel (think it's a 4 star jobbie), good sized room overlooking Times Square, all at a very competitive price (booked direct on the Novotel website). Slightly strange tho, coz the hotel reception's on the 5th or 6th floor... Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: bone1986 on September 19, 2007, 05:48:00 PM My wife and I stayed at the Time hotel, surprisingly just off times square. It's a smaller boutique hotel but very nice and within easy walking distance of most of the tourist sites.

This is going to be an expensive Christmas... Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: lazaroonie on September 20, 2007, 12:20:08 AM i wouldnt want to be walking anywhere around times square....
Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: Laxie on September 20, 2007, 10:15:18 AM I'd be more concerned about walking around Greenwich Village at night if you don't know the area. Times Square and all the other tourist spots are loaded with police, so they'd be safe enough. I used to work not far from there at the Four Seasons Restaurant and would take the subway home to Queens after 1 am on my own...because there were so many police around, you didn't have to worry.
Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: Tinsel Town on September 20, 2007, 05:22:06 PM Recommend the Grand Union for the budget traveller.
Kind of small and basic but clean. Enjoy...Great city! http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60763-d122015-r7230756-Hotel_Grand_Union-New_York_City_New_York.html Td Th Title: Re: Hotels in New York Post by: The Camel on September 20, 2007, 05:36:08 PM this place is lovely I was there paid by work at the time, but if the budget stretches........ http://www.gramercyparkhotel.com/index.html I stayed there a couple of years ago.. and was very disappointed. A throwback from the 1920's. Needs renovating IMO. Also stayed at the Hilton, Times Square. This was absolutely superb. Highly recommended. |
