NYC Hotel near Penn Station
My son and DiL are over in NY for 3 days in October for a business meeting in New Jersey and are looking for a hotel near Penn Station. The hotel should be clean and comfortable but as they will be out all day the hotel does not need to have many facilities. Any ideas/help for him?? He has looked at the Element, but is not sure.

Are you sure that NJ Transit or the Path train will get him to the meeting? If so there are a few decent hotels close to Penn, like the Raddison on 34th and 8th or the Ace at 29th and 6th. I don't like the hotels on 32nd in Little Korea. The street is noisy all night/day long.

The Hilton Garden Inn will probably be nicer than the LaQuinta but compare the rates. At times the LQ is under $100/night. It is on 32nd, in the middle of Koreatown, but I kind of like the bustle but it wasn't noisy to me. In any case, I didn't notice noise once I was in the hotel. A family member lived on 33rd for a while and really enjoyed the location.

The NY Manhattan hotel is one of the applecore hotels (link posted by Rhea) and I think as nice if not nicer than the La Quinta. The Affinia Manhattan is directly across from Penn station and a nice suite hotel where most rooms have small kitchenette.

FWIW the LaQuinta IS an applecore hotel. I was surprised when I saw their logo when I checked in.
The first time I stayed there, I stayed on La Quinta points (and then moved to the Hilton on 6th with a Priceline win). I've returned since because I like the hotel - basic, clean, free breakfast, rooftop bar, free access to the business center (to check the internet and print out theatre tickets), close to the subway and usually a great price point.
I have no idea how the LQ compares to the other applecore hotels.
