Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Maybe if you tell us the kinds of things you want to do whilst you're here, there'd be more of a way to help. I'm not up too much on hotels, as I always stayed in Jersey when I was visiting, so I know other people can help more with that. Stuff to do, and places to go eat, I can help with.

DrNo Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I pretty much know where Iw anna go, what I wanna do, where I wanna eat etc. But I want a hotel, doesn't have to be upper class, preferably somewhere near Times Square, on a room only basis.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You want hotels.com then. I got some fucking awesome rates on there when I went to New York a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members extacy of farts Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 I stayed in the Affinia Dumont a couple of years ago, really great hotel and location wasn't bad either. On 34th just down from Empire State Building and only a short walk to Times Square etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hotel 31 was pretty good when I stayed there. E 31st St/Lexington Ave I think. Not far at all from Times Square. We got a package deal for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyswynne Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 How are you with Hostels? I stayed in the Chelsea International. Was okay, but if you're in New York you spend fuck all time in your room. Â Though Hostels are now more expensive due to a "Hostel Tax" that NYC have put on, but they're cheaper than hotels.

rockbus Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Don't panic too much about having to be right near Times Square. Even for Londoners the regularity and ease of transport 24 hours a day comes as a complete shock. I stayed with friends in Jackson Heights, Queens when I was there, but had no trouble having days or evenings out in Manhatten or Brooklyn.

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 It's true - before I moved (actually, the visit where I met Mrs. Woodyatt), we stayed in Woodside, Queens - you get a different flavor of the city, and travel is embarrassingly easy.

Van Dammer Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 If you know everything you wanna do and where then you should already have a pretty direct idea of where you need to stay. Most hotels in New York are pretty similar in my experience, very expensive box rooms that vary slightly depending on when they were last decorated. Look out for recently renovated hotels and things like that but I doubt youll be in the actual room much so just concentrate on the location. Â As far as when to go, I went over thanksgiving last year and whilst busy they did have amazing sales the day after on 'Black Friday' which also lasted over the weekend. if you like shopping and designer brands etc then you must got over this time.

cobystag Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 http://www.clubquarters.com/loc_nyMidtown.php  Me and my fiancee stayed here both times we've been to NYC. 3 minute walk to Times Square if that, on the same road as the theater where John Leguizamo performed Freak and the rest of his stand up shows, bout a 15-20 minute walk to the bus station and 30 minutes to MSG/Hammerstein.  Think it was about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted September 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can recommend The Hotel Mela - right in Times Square, and although it's steep-ish, they have a lot of offers going on all the time. Nice rooms, and honestly, 1 minute from Toys-r-us on the square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted September 13, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I was in New York a few weeks ago covering a story for the local paper and they put me up in the New York Manhattan. Couldn't have asked for a better place location wise, just round the corner from the Empire State. (By the way, if you are going up there, make sure it's around 8am when there are no queues). Â I also did the geeky Wrestling fan thing and went for a walk to Madison Square Garden. There was nothing going on at the time but it was pretty cool just to say i've been to the mecca of Pro Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
