Best hotel deals in NY Manhattan
 

Where to get the best hotel deals for hotels on Manhattan clse to Central Park?<BR><BR>Heard that expedia.com, pricerunner.com shall have good deals. Anyone who tried them?

There is a hotel near Central Park called Washington Hotel. It is not bad and only around $30 a night. Try www.awesomedeals.globaltravel.com and do a hotel search for NYC.

$30 a night?!? Wow I'm skeptical as to the, ahem, quality of such an establishment. My advice is to be careful -- as a general rule you get what you pay for.<BR><BR>

The Washington Hotel is a superior, budget class hotel/ hostel perfect for the student, youth and budget traveler. <BR>Located in Harlem, off 125th street home to the Apollo Theatre and Magic Johnsons Magic Mall and Cineplex. The hotel is also located close to Central park and 6 miles from LaGuardia International Airport. <BR><BR>The Washington Hotel is a newly renovated 4 story building, with its trendy atmosphere and decor. The hotel offers 24 hour receptiona dn 24 hour concierge. We also offer internet kiosks, multi-lingual staff and we provide 3 lounge rooms to meet, eat and socialise with people from all across the globe.

At $30 a night, your definition of "trendy decor" and mine have to be vastly different. <BR>I'm curious, when you travel, are most of you happy with staying in a hotel that "is not bad"? Or do you look for one that is good? There is a major difference in my opinion.

Yikes, just out of curiosity I looked up the Wahington hotel's web site. They call themelves a hostel with "semiprivate" rooms, and the only room photo that I found featured a twin-size bunk bed! Something for everyone, I guess.<BR><BR>http://www.washingtonhotelnyc.com/Ho...stel_info.html

And that's what they call "trendy atmosphere and decor"? There ought to be a law!

Just topping this post, as another poster has also inquired about the Washington.

Try Priceline and Hotwire.

Leave the Washington alone; it appears to fit a need and represents an honest effort in the hotel industry. <BR>I dare say that there are some of you who can afford the $300 or $400/night other hotels charge ONLY becasue you make your money in a dishonest and unethical way! (Note I am not indicting anyone in particular, just stating a well recognized fact of life).<BR>So leave this place alone!<BR>I suppose a bunk bed in a clean hostel is not what snobs look for!!

I look for safety and privacy. Sharing a room with a stranger gives me neither. If that makes me a degenerate bourgois, well so be it.

I have stayed here. They offer single, private rooms for $29 a night in NYC right next to the 125 St Station. You have to share a bath, but a private smaller room with tasteful, inexpensive furniture. I would recommend for anyone on a budget or young. There is even parking all over the place in the area for next to nothing, so if you drive in to NYC there is no worries.
