Any comments are appreciated. First trip to NYC. Also suggestions on restaurant for Thanksgiving Day.

We had friends from UK who were booked there for a week last year by the travel agent. They hated the place, hated their room, and hated the staff. They tried to move to another hotel, but because it was a prepaid, voucher deal they couldn't get out of it. I used to understand people staying there just because it was a bargain and the location is so great for theatre, but when I brought up the lowest price offered as $349. during the second week in December, I really got confused. All I have ever heard positive is that it is a good location and the rooms are generally pretty clean. I suppose if you don't care too much about the room and you get a great package price then it might be OK.

It's probably one of the five worst hotels in America. Please steer clear of it!

I've never stayed there but I trust Zagat's guides when I do visit other cities. Zagat's gives the Milford Plaza the lowest scores in New York and perhaps the nation. "Threadbare" rooms and "befuddled service" are mentioned. It is cheap, though, so if you're looking for a bargain place to sleep it may fit the bill.

The Milford used to be the "lulla-buy"
of Broadway. Now it is the BYE-BYE! Nothing has been done to upgrade the place since it opened some twenty years ago! Great location? Maybe....but I wouldn't stay there if I were you!

I want a clean room close to Macy's Parade and Theater District. I don't plan to spend much time in my room, so I don't want to spend a bunch of money on the room. Is the Milford in a good location for what I have planned?

Michael

Sounds like I should be searching for another hotel - any suggestions?

Hoteldiscounts.com has got some good deals on it, check them out. A good or bad thing depending on how you look at it is that you pay upfront. Keep talking and we''ll give you a hand. Good Luck!

Just found a $149 rate at the Washington Jefferson Hotel. Anybody stayed there?

You are looking for something centrally located and not too expensive? How about the Hotel Pennsylvania? I'll bring up the thread from someone else.
