Comments on these NYC Hotels?
 

Hi! I'll be going to NYC next month. Any comments on these hotels? <BR>Broadway Inn Bed & Breakfast...Gershwin Hotel...Hotel Beacon...Larchmont...Comfort Inn, West Central Park? I've narrowed my choices to the above. Thanks for your input!

Broadway Inn - In an article in the FEb. 5, 2001 issue of New York Magazine this place is listed in a category "Best Beds under $200. It is a 4 story walkup in a good location. www.broadwayinn.com <BR>Gershwin - this is a hotel/hostel located on E. 27th just off 5th Ave. Strictly a c oommercial area busy during the day and quiet at night. Located about one mile south and east of Times Square and theater district. <BR>Beacon - 75th and Broadway on the Upper WEst Side. This is a residential area. <BR>Located 1 1/2 miles due north of Times Square and theater district. Excellent subway/ bus transportation very convenient. Great area for walking around with lots of restaurants. Have read a number of favorable comments about this place.

This is a continuation of my previous note. <BR>Larchmont on W. 11th near 5th Avenue. This is Greenwich Village. Near Washington Square Park and NYU. Nice area for walking and people watching. Recall reading a post about this place that was favorable. Certainly convenient if you intend spending much of your visit in Greenwich Village. Subway transportation is available but there is a bit of a walk from the hotel. <BR>Comfort Inn - This place has become a Comfort Inn fairly recently - it isn't listed in my 2000 Yellow Pages so am not sure of address. Have heard mention of it and I believe it is just off Central Park West in the 70's. Central Park a short distance away. Also the Upper WEst side but this is strictly residential. Subway transportation is available on Central Park West or you could walk to Broadway, a five minute or so walk.

Broadway Inn - very convenient location but is a 4 story walkup - if you have a problem with stairs be forewarned. Might be a noisy location but it has recieved many favorable comments in this forum. The Gershwin - hip and cool but look it up in the rants and raves section of this forum to draw your own conclusions about whether you'd chance staying there. Larchmont has a good reputation as a moderate priced hotel. I have no knowledge of the Comfort Inn.

Does the Larchmont have any private (in-room) bathrooms?<BR><BR>Thanks-
