Lodging/parking while visiting NYC
Senior citizen couple will be visiting NYC for a few days in July. Have read some threads on the subject and would like to stay in a NYC hotel but don't think that will be possible since we are pulling a 12 ft utility trailer with our motorcycle on. Am sure that NYC hotel parking is very limited - if it exists at all!! Anyone know of a vehicle storage lot where we could safely leave the trailer?
#2. Is there a good reasonably priced tour of the city? Thought we might do that one day and then go back on our own to some places. Any advice is appreciated |
I think finding parking for car, trailer and motorcycle will be a problem. Places outside the city (Long Island City, near PATH trains in NJ) that I would ordinarily recommend just don;t have that type of parking facility.
I think you will need to look for a hotel with room for all your stuff and suburban area and make that the first step in your search. There might be something in Secaucus - but you need to be sure the place can take all your stuff and also has a shuttle bus to the train or the local bus - otherwise you could be an hour or more from the city - and need to pay for a very expensive taxi back after commuting hours. I am strongly against standard city tours - since you tend to spend an awful lot of time sitting in traffic watching locals going to work or doing errands - versus actually seeing sights. IMHO much better to pick out the few things you will have time to see and head straight for them. |
Call this hotel and ask. They are the only ones in Manhattan with free parking. It's worth a call -

They have free parking for a car. Can't imagine they would give multiple spaces for free. And the garage may not be tall enough to allow a trailer. (Many garages are limited to vehicles s=lower than 7.5 feet.)

Try this lot: Impark: 724 6th Avenue at corner of 24th & 6th Aves, 212-691-8562, open 24/7

I understand that, nytraveler. That is why I suggested a phone call.

Google NY Parking Garages and call a couple of them and see if they can accomodate you. (Isnt that some long trailer for a motorcycle?)
