Hotels in New York
 

Hi im coming over on 28th March - 2nd April
with my wife and 18 year old daughter and we are looking for a family room for 3 in hotels or b&b but most only take 2 people

We want to stay central if possible so if anyone knows a hotel or b&b for around 150 dollars per night per room please let me know

Thanks

yikes .. I doubt you'll find anything for $150 ... particularly in the midtown area ("central") ...

We stayed at the Affinia 50 which was a great location. We prepaid for our room and it came in at about $160 a night (including taxes). The affinia hotels periodically run specials so you might be able to stay in one at your price level. I would also do a quikbooks.com search. The rates I saw on that website might be in your price range.

NYC for $150 is tough. Check out tripadvisor.com for some other suggestions.

I agree, $150 for a room for 3 isn't easy. Certainly look at quikbook.com, travelzoo.com and maybe Jack & Judy's B&B? Super upper west side location and good reviews on trip Advisor jacksbandb.com

$150 is very low for 2 people let alone 3 in NYC right now. But surprisingly, I found a few very good options on quikbook.com for you at or just over your budget.

3 of the Affinia.com hotels-

>The Beekman Towers is a nice hotel in midtown near the United Nations.
A 1 bedroom suite there (2 separate rooms) is $775 plus tax (about 15%) for the 5 nights.

>The Shelburne Murray Hill, a bit more central near Grand Central Station is $771 or $882 for a 1 bedroom.

>Affinia Manhattan, near Penn station is $798.
I would check all these prices against the affinia.com website and see which has the best price. (the website seems to be down right now).

The Eastgate Tower is also in your budget, but it's not as nice as the others, imo.

The other option on quikbook.com you might consider is the Belvedere, a well regarded budget hotel near Times Square/theater district. Look at reviews of all of these on tripadvisor.com

I agree with the Belvedere. Great location on W48th Str. for a budget hotel. I've stayed there on several trips to Manhattan.

You may want to rethink your price when you factor in food costs

I am currently visiting NYC and staying at the Marriot Residence Inn at 6th and 39th. Nice midtown location. The price is $219 but it is a junior suite:
king bed (wonderful)
hideabed (for the kid)
full hot breakfast that you can eat on the 3rd floor or bring to your room (eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fruit, yogurt, the works)
between 530 and 730 M-F they have a free evening snack which for people on a budget could be dinner. for example, last night was salad, spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread...for free
full kitchen in the room so you can also cut down on some extra costs by eating in though why would you come to NYC and do that?

anyway, in looking at prices you need to see what else is included.

I also used to regard the Belevedere as a good budget hotel choice midtown. But everytime I've loked it's around $300 a night now. Didn't someone recently post they couldn't get a room there for under something like $400? Can deals still be gotten there?

It is really pointless these days to quote a price paid for any hotel a year or more ago.

gfiebleman, no offense but why on earth would anyone come to NYC and eat the food at the hotel?

Breakfast of bagel and coffee is under $2, eat a big lunch, dinner is a pizza or dirty water dog.

GoTravel, that's a good question, but then I also ask the same thing of those who want an apartment with a kitchen so they can cook meals in. While I prefer an apartment, I certainly don't cook on vacation, but hey, whatever floats someone's boat. If they aren't into going out, or don't really care, I guess staying in after a day of sightseeing and eating whatever is provided can suit some people. Good for them.

Go travel - I laughed at your reply. But as someone who has lived 20 miles north of NYC all her 62 years, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would WANT to come to New York City at all. I avoid NYC every chance I can get.
