Can anyone recommend a reasonable (basic enough) hotel in New York?

Really not looking for luxury - just clean and own bathroom.

(for 3 / 4 nights in Dec)

was looking at Pennsylvania & Wolcott on goolge- anyone stayed in either of these? Was it my imagination or are twin rooms scarce - i.e. mostly single/double bed...

Try the Milford Plaza. Its on west 45th Street, very near Time Square, and about 6 blocks from the Park.
 
Re: recommdation of hotel in New York

You might try some of these... all prices should be less than 175 p/night based on hotels.com for August 2007 (I recently went through the same exercise). These are hotels that seem reasonable at the "basic" end. Double-check to ensure that they have their own bathroom.

I have stayed in the pennslyvania and if you ask for a renovated room you will be fine. The hotel is in a great spot across road from madison square garden and less than ten min walk to time square with the empire State building around the corner and macys a stones throw away.]

AVOID THE PENNSYLVANIA AT ALL COSTS!!! Bed bug central according to latest reports.

Never book a hotel without checking the reports on and if you check the Penn you'll see why.

Try the NY forum on TA, they'll give good advice. Introduce you to hotwire and priceline. We got the Hyatt Grand Central for $120 a night last month and have had a 5 star in New York for $185 through these sites.

I have stayed in the Wolcott and if it is value for money you are after you would not go far wrong. Stay away from Pennsylvania (Rubbish). If you want a safe bet, but it costs, is the Crowne Plaza in Times Square (Great Hotel, big rooms and good service, bar and restaurant a bit dear but you would not go wrong staying here. Try www.tripadvisor.com as it has every hotel in the world on it with alot of feedback from people.

Just back from NY today and stayed here



Very central to Times Square. rooms clean not massive will do for 2. Have Continental breakfast. Paid $138 per night. Rads in the room kept buzzing and the heat from them created a clamy room but hardly ever there

Re: recommdation of hotel in New York

Yeah went up there B&H on Monday to get a camera

All the staff are Orthodox Jews and very helpful. Went straight down
the back and I told him what I was looking for

Came back with a Canon camera which was perfect and I paid for it
and then collected it at their collection point

Would recommend them for anything in relation to cameras and accessories

Could not find an optician for glass frames but that's because I was stuck out
in Woodbury and Macys etc for most of it(women just love shopping) well except for Paddys Day that was spent in the pub
 
Re: recommdation of hotel in New York

I would also recommend looking on as we didnt look until we had the hotel booked but luckily we got another one quite cheap. www.hoteldeauville.com I would highly recommend them as they are a lovely family run hotel with very friendly staff.They are also right in the centre of manhattan very close to the empire state building.

Must be bad if the mice had to change room four times
 
I've stayed in the Milford Plaza and it is basic but clean and such an ideal spot right beside Time Square. Also stayed in the Ramada New Yorker twice - this is the sister holtel of the Milford Plaza again basic but clean. The Ramada New Yorker is beside the Pennsylvania but appartently nicer. It is beside Macy's, Empoire State building, Madison sq Gardens and Subway is right out - def stay there again!
 
Oh if you are a non smoker be sure to request a NON SMOKING ROOM!!!

Check out this website [broken link removed]
 
3 star very close to Madison Square Garden - Ramada New Yorker
Pensylvannia or Wolcott really would be basic but in excellent locations.
Or you could try the Radio City Apartments...
 
we stayed in the 30-30 hotel last year-bout 10mins to Madison Sq. We paid approx $100/night which was brilliant value but it seems to ahve gone up. New clean rooms - genuinely was a lovely hotel.
 
thanks everyone for so many responses

i had wanted to travel in Dec. to get a "christmas" feel there

but looks like we'll have to travel in November - does anyone know when Thanksgiving is? - suppose I should avoid that time - would it be a bad time for shopping/sightseeing???

also, one more question - is Aer Lingus to JFK the best way to go -

return flights for 2 total cost €740 - is that good value??
