Traveling to NYC at end of July--any suggestions for quality, affordable hotel in Midtown?

Jeez.

Debbie, do some research by using the search function at the top of the screen. This has been answered ad nauseum...

Quality and affordable in Midtown? Would you like a foot massage too? Seriously, NYC is very expensive and quality/affordable really don't go together. How about decent/affordable or quality/memorable?

A more helpful question: How much do you want to spend?

How RUDE! If you don't want to be helpful, Just keep your opinions to yourself!!!!!!

I usually stay at the Gorham Hotel. It's small, but they have a kitchenette in all the rooms. Across the street is the Wellington Hotel which is more affordable, but not as nice. Although there is a fabulous Greek restaurant off the lobby of the Wellington.

The Marriott Marquis in Times Square was great and very affordable---I got 2 nights over Memorial Day weekend for $100/night via priceline.com . Do some research, put in an absurdly low bid like I did and see what you get! Worked for me.

Try the Crowne Plaza on Broadway...right on Times Square for about $200/night.

I have also stayed at the Gorham (4 times) and the Marriott Marquis just 2 months ago. Both great locations but Gorham a bit quieter. Read quite a bit about the Casablanca hotel & they sometimes have great buys over the internet.

We just returned from a trip last weekend and stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel, 45th and Madison. Great location, right next to Grand Central Station, and we got an Internet special rate of $159 with a full, wonderful breakfast included. Room size was fine by NYC standards and service was very good.

I have stayed 3x at the Flatotel, Great location, 52nd bet 6th & 7th. That's walking to theater, Sak's, Bloomies, museums, w/out being in the theater chaos. Call the hotel for the best rate, I pd $155 p.n. Definitely not a snazzy palce, but very do"able" & I repeat, awesome location. Ask for the newer remodeled rms, they have refrigerators.

The Roger Williams is $199 and is at 32nd at Madison. They serve a great breakfast and supply cappucino, tea, coffee all day and a fruit tray in the afternoon. We loved it. We are staying at the Mansfield this year which is $159 and is at 45th (I think).

Lin g, how did you get the $159 rate at the Mansfield? Whenever I've tried, they've wanted around $300.

That's what I want to know. How does everyone get these great rates?
