Family hotel in NYC?
 

Looking for a hotel in New York that is family friendly. Between $125-$175/night. Should be near all the tourist stuff. Concerned about cleanliness and safety.<BR><BR>One other item. I have a teenager that might be flying back alone. I understand the new check-in procedures won't allow me to walk her up to the plane. Any suggestions?

The Beacon Hotel is a good choice, also the Excelsior. Both of these are on the UPper West Side which is a great area for families and well located as a base from which to go all over the city. Good luck.

The Radio City Apts. The decor is a bit dated, but it's safe and clean, in a good location and even has a kitchenette. As far as your 2nd question about the teen traveling alone. Call the airline. They do have special arrangements for children traveling alone.

Bruce:<BR><BR>Regarding your question about your teen flying alone, this has been our experience lately.<BR><BR>If she is flying as an "unaccompanied minor," then they will give you a pass to walk her to the gate and stay there until the plane has departed.<BR><BR>However, if she is traveling alone and you are not paying the unaccompanied minor fee, then you cannot go past security without a boarding pass for the flight.<BR><BR>I'm not sure if they have age limits for unaccompanied minors, but I have known teens as old as sixteen years to fly that way.<BR><BR>Good luck.<BR><BR>
