Marriott World Trade Center
 

If you were going to NYC for Thanksgiving and had to choose between the Marriott WTC at $150/night or the Salisbury on 57th for $300/night, where would you choose? <BR> <BR>Most of our activites will be the parade and Radio City. Is the money we will save at the Marriott worth the hassle of being a couple miles away? Thanks!

your question was answered in your other post. Stay at the WTC and use the money for a nice dinner

I would refer to staying at the WTC Marriott a slight inconvenience rather than a hassle. And, that's not a bad tradeoff to save $150 a night. (Actually after adding on taxes, it's a saving of about $170 a night.)

My stay at the WTC Marriott was one of the nicest I've ever had! The staff is wonderful and the location is fine. By all means stay there!

Minuses---The area may be somewhat barren for the four day weekend. This is the wall street area where almost every company will have a four day weekend. By barren I do not mean dangerous in any way. Just the hustle and bustle will be missing. <BR> <BR>Pluses-- <BR>1. $150 per night. <BR>2. Conveniences--the WTC Marriott is connected to the WTC which means that you have the 24 hour pharmacy and other conveniences without going out of the complex. <BR>3. Save your money on a cab. There are sooooo many subways in the trade center (A,C,E,N,R,1,2,3) and the 4,5 a block away. The subway is a 15 minute way to get uptown. <BR>4. People are spending $200-250 to stay in Queens near the airports and in Brooklyn. To pay $150 only 15 minutes from midtown is great. <BR> <BR>All in all, the pluses outweigh the minuses.
