Mid Town East Hotel NYC
 

Help .. ! Can anyone recommend a hotel in Mid Town East close to the hospital ... Am heading there mid June and want to stay in a nice hotel but don't want to spend $300 if possible .. Can anyone suggest a hotel in the $150 to low $200's price range including parking .. Much appreciate your help .. !

Try Beekman Tower from Affinia.

Try some of the websites like www.orbitz.com, www.hotels.com and www.expedia.com. Finding a hotel in that area with parking for that rate is going to be very difficult to find. Do you have to have the car in the city?

We will be driving down from Boston .. so the answer is yes .. We usually stay at the Millenium Hilton and they have a package that includes parking for about $200 or less .. but that is really too far from where we need to be this time ...

Sorry - The Beekman in June runs about $300 per night, including tax and parking.

Which hospital are you talking about - there are several in different places on the east side? And hotels in NYC don;t come with free parking - it generally runs $30 per night up.

Have you checked with the hospital to see if they have discount arrangements with any hotels or apartment complexes nearby. That's probably the best way to get good rates.

If you're talking about one of the hospitals along York avenue you might try the Bentley hotel to see what they have available - they had some good rates last year- don;t know about when you're coming - and it's much closer to those hospitals.

Agree it's pretty important we know which hospital. There's NYU on 34 st. (the Envoy Club[$209 on quikbook] or Affinia Dumont might work for here along with Murray Hill East Suites, Shelburne Murray Hill, even the Eastgate Towers [$229 on quikbook] isn't too far).

Then there's NY Cornell, Memorial Sloane etc. in the 60s on York. The above would work, but not as close. The Bentley already mentioned and the Affinia Gardens are closest I think. But agree check with the hospital for special rates they may have. Memorial has it's own hotel, the Hlemsley Tower. Here's more info

Should have added there's lots of decent parking near 1st ave. & York. If you want a specific place, go to iconparking.com and select something near whatever hotel you pick. Good luck!

Thanks to everyone .. I will be heading to the NYU Hospital .. Someone mentioned The Affinia Dumont but it is also in the $300 range before parking .. I have never tried Priceline but am considering it because most of these hotels are over $300 ... Am hoping to find something for a bit less ...

I just had surgery at NYU and stayed at Eastgate Towers on 39th b/w 2nd and 3rd avenue. It was fine - I paid $232 a night.

Did you check any of the other Affinia hotels in that area? Also, sometimes there are speical offers on their website, affinia.com.

Priceline is probably best for value, but the location may not be as close as you'd like.

Check the NYC hotel specials at www.travelzoo.com to see if any of the hotels listed are close enough to where you want to be. Some of the deals are quite good.

If you want to consider priceline, be sure to look at their area map for the Midtown East area to see if there might be hotels that are too far away from where you want to be. You can see a list of hotels that have come up for that zone in the past (and see bidding tips) at www.biddingfortravel.com and www.betterbidding.com

The Envoy Club would work well. Rooms are apts. with kitchens. A studio (one big room) of 550 sf (that's big!) is $207.50/night on their own website. envoyclub.com
The hospital is at 34th st & 1st ave. The hotel is on 33rd b/w 1st & 2nd.

Travelzoo has a special on the Affinia Dumont for $179 and $194 bw/ June 14 and Sept.

Went to Travel Zoo and was able to get $194 for the Affinia Dumont .. which is probably a great price and close to NYU Hospital ... Thank you so much for all your help ! !

Great! Hope all goes well. I meant to say to Radiofanatic, hope your surgery went ok. ((F))

This might not be east enough for you, but we're staying at the Econo Lodge Times Square (W. 47th, I think). We're paying around $153 a night. Just Google Econo Lodge and you'll find it easily.

thanks McClaurie, it did and thanks for the heads up about Eastgate - it worked out well. I found out why things were so booked that week in NYC, it was fashion week and the week the five tv channels were doing their fall show reviews.

One last question .. any restaurant recommendations close to the NYU Hospital or the Dumont hotel .. Thanks again especially to mclaurie for the hotel and parking garage info .. Much .. much appreciated ! !

The hospital is all the way east on 1st ave. and I always have trouble finding restaurants near there. There are delis for take out or cafeteria style right on 1st., but for a regular sit down meal you have to go a bit further west on 2nd, 3rd or Lexington. The one exception is El Parador, a Mexican rest. that's on 34 st. b/w 1st & 2nd and has been there forever. There are other Mexicans in the area that I think are better and cheaper though. El Rio Grande is one.

Trio on 33rd b/w 3rd & 2nd is very good. It's Croatian but the food is similar to Italian. There are also several Italian restaurants along 34 st. that are good. Cosette is a small French bistro, good and reasonably priced on the next block.

Do you know about menupages.com? YOu can search by location and cuisine. Pick the east 30s and have fun. There's also a feature there that has places with delivery. You can certainly order in at your hotel. ;) Good luck and hope you have a good stay.

Thank you mahs for starting this thread and all the terrific replies. Many of which I will be using.

Can any one here comment on the thread started by jserv on New York Transportation as far as the accuracy of the WALKING part of the recommended website www.hopstop.com

You are all the best.

There Sarge's Deli on 36th and 3rd Ave; and Penelope's for breakfast/brunch on 31st and Lexington.
