Accommodation in New York

[Denise_uk]

Hi. Me, my husband and our 11 year old son are going to New York for 4 nights in July. Can anyone recommend any decent, reasonably priced accommodation? I've been with a friend a couple of times before but gone on a inclusive flight-and-hotel basis so we got very good hotels at an excellent price as a deal. We're doing it ourselves this time though, and stopping over on the way to Florida, so we're looking for somewhere reasonably priced but still fairly central. Everywhere seems so expensive! Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks! x

The Wolcott Hotel has been praised by several people on AB and regularly gets good reviews on sites like Trip Advisor:
http://www.wolcott.com/

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763 -d93333-Reviews-Wolcott_Hotel-New_York_City_Ne w_York.html

However, while it's cheaper than many New York hotels, it's still quite expensive for those on a tight budget. Trip Advisor lists 337 New York hotels, listed in order of popularity, complete with reviews and an indication of typical prices. The full list is here:

However, you can use the filter options (at the top of that page) to filter by price, district, etc.

Stayed at the Woolcot a couple of years ago, might suit you as they do triple rooms. Hotel was fine, not luxurious, just round the corner from the Empire State, and remember, you will be out and about for most of the time.

ps I booked thru the hotels web site rather than expedia or similar, as you don't have to pay upfront.

If the location is not a bother then consider staying outside of Manattan and travelling in each day
We stayed 2 weeks ago at a hotel in Queens and bought a 7 day travel pass,15 mins into the city and saved on the hotel cost

Hi. Thanks for all your suggestions. We're booked into the Novotel on Times Square which we somehow managed to get for just over �300 for 4 nights!!! Looking on all the websites I think they priced it wrongly as I can't find it for anything even close to that anywhere else. Has anyone stayed there? Is it ok? Thanks! x

Well didn't you do well, We stayed there in September and it was a hell of a lot more than that , let's hope they don't realise eh?!

[Denise_uk]

Thanks for that nabob :o) We've paid in full on credit card and had confirmation through so I'm hoping if they have undercharged us and they do realise they'll still be obliged to stick to the price. Fingers crossed. Any useful info on the hotel or local eateries from when you stayed there? Thanks. x
