Super 8 near Times Square?
Anyone stayed at the Super 8 near Times Square recently? Owned by Applecore hotels, the Comfort Inn in Times Square is booked but they offered their Super 8. I am looking for eyewitness comments on the Super 8.

I work in NY & know NOTHING about a Super 8 near Times Square. And "near Times Square" can be a scary thing, it could be on 10th or 11th Aves, in the 50's, which is FAR away from anything you want to see & with no mass transit available. That will mean taxis - you might as well stay in a more central location.

Super 8 is apparently another hotel that was bought by the applecore hotel group renovated and changed into a super 8. The address is 59W 46th st. between 5th & 6th ave. That doesn't seem to far away? is it?

Me again. You can also pull up Super 8's website and the New York hotel is on there. I printed it out myself after I read the article in the magazine and in fact, still have the print out on my desk.

If that is the right address and the price is right I would say GRAB IT. That location is great, close to all the theatres, tons of restaurants, Time Square, movie theatres, subways, buses, shopping.
It is also not a far walk up to Central Park, though very cold here right now the park looks kind of magical in a blanket of snow and we are expecting more tomorrow (another 3 -6 inches).
I'll be in the area tonight so will stop by, and post what I see.

I just looked up the website and it actually looks nice! I mean, the room in the photo is simple and not huge, but the lobby looks nice and the location looks great! I did a request for rates from 6/5-6/9 and it was $149 for a room with two beds. They had discounts for AAA and others, too. Not too bad!

Hey bbkay:
What did you decide? When I originally told you about the magazine article, I meant to say "recently", not "yesterday", so I don't know if you ever found the review. There are a couple of favorable reviews on tripadvisor.com which I have found useful when I am deciding where to stay when I go away. I thought about staying at this hotel the next time I go to NYC. If you are on a budget, there are also several Best Westerns in midtown. I believe I stayed on one around 55th St. If you go and stay there, let us know how the hotel was.

Hey bbkay. I see that you have already booked but I just wanted to tell you about the hotel we recently stayed at in NYC. We were there from Dec. 30-Jan 2 for the NYE celebration and stayed at the Ramada New Yorker which was on 34st at either 7th or 8th avenue (right near Macy's, Penn Station, Madison Square Garden). I had read mixed reviews about the place but decided to go ahead with our plans anyway. The hotel was not like the Plaza or anything but it was clean and comfortable. The room was kind of small but it was all we needed because we were rarely in it and we had an absolutely fabulous view of the Empire State Building out of our window. Every morning when we got out of bed, we would look at the ESB just to be sure it wasn't all a dream! Anyway, the total for 3 nights was close to $500. We were within walking distance to everything and had a 24 hour diner right downstairs. Hope you enjoy your trip!
