Hotels in New York City

[A face]

Anyone know of any good hotels in NYC, reasonable prices, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera !!

[paul_oshea]

hmmmm reasonably priced hotels, i dont think i do!!!

NY_HOOP is the fella to talk too, though he is a little confused really as depending on waht i posted perviously he might change his mind...oh ya and he is banned.

look up hotels.com, all depends when ye want to go. Thing is trains are so good there you can stay out of the downtown area. Id even think of staying somewhere "authentic" like the bronx or something like that. its the only real way you'll get to sample anything of the city other than the village and downtown.

What you going for a face and who's going? (No need for specifics but girlfriend/mates/family?)

If you're a first timer going as a tourist anything in midtown manhattan is where you want to be. All of midtown is pretty much walkable, and what ever isn't the subway will bring you. The cheapest hotel in midtown is the Pennsylvania which is right opposit Madison Square gardens and macys. You'll read horror stories from some who stayed there but I stayed a couple of nights there with no problem. its important to ask for a renovated room. If more than a couple are going maybe look at some of the suites available. We stayed in the Shelbourne Murray Hill which slept 4 comfortbaly.

Oh and hotel rooms in NYC are probably the most expensive around

I stayed here:

Its very close to Grand Central, Bryant Park, Times Square. Breakfast wasn't included in their room rate, but there was a great spot next door for a breakfast.

Oh and I booked it through here and got a decent price.

This place is very basic and very cheap in Manhatten. It's in Chinatown and is cheaper than any hostels you'll find in Manhatten.

I'd aim for midtown so. Anthing between 34/35th street and 59th street, between 3rd Avenue and Madison Avenue and you're laughing. I'll PM you later with some stuff.

Great hotel, i'd thoroughly recommend it. Stayed there for St.Patricks day in 2006 and the service couldnt be faulted, plus its location is perfect. Even bumped into Gerry Adams in the lift (as you do) so its also a faviourte of the ahem... rich and famous. We got it at an affordable price as part of a package so i dont know how much staying there would set you back but if its within your price range, you cant go far wrong.
