The Roosevelt is a very nice, very accommodating hotel that has plenty of 2 double bed rooms. Great location too.

Dear huh, <BR>please expound on what sites and what travel boards I am new to this and would appreciare any help<BR>

Brian,<BR>Sometimes "posters" loose site of what this forum is all about and instead of offering sound advice, they put-down other travelers. We are all here to help each other so don't be put off by those who don't have anything nice to say. Anyway, look at the rant & raves section of Fodors.com to see reviews of hotels submitted by folks who have stayed at them, and look at Quickbook.com to get an idea of hotel descriptions and prices. These are just 2 suggestions, I'm sure someone else can offer a few other good sites.

The recently renovated Edison Hotel, in the theater district, is nice and centrally located. The hotel is moderately priced (under $200) and you might find an internet special. Whichever hotel you choose, if you're planning to stay for a week, ask for an extended stay discount. Although hotels don't advertise that type of deal, most hotels will offer it upon request. Good luck!

I find that Expedia has better rates, but if you also check on Travelocity, you can read the reviews of guests who have stayed there.

Give www.HotelKingdom.com a try. They guaranteed to have the lowest prices around.<BR><BR>I'd booked Bentley (a 4 star hotel) for $113 tax included for 2/23. If you go to other sites, the rate now if $179 before taxes.<BR><BR>Good luck.

I've seen good prices on www.playbill.com, however they're usually on short notice and didn't see anything posted for June. Does anyone have experience with using this website?

Does anyone know anything about Park Central Hotel or Milford Plaza??

I can second the recommendation for the Broadway B&B. Stayed there in October. Very clean, decent furnishings, room was the size of a closet however. Cheap rates at that time, but I see they have gone way up for spring and summer. The staff was charming and helpful and the room was very quiet. <BR><BR>I stayed at the Wyndham in August and was not pleased. It's gone beyond "old-world charm" and has entered "shabby and stained." The staff bordered on rude.

After reading so much about the Milford Plaza I hesitated to go there, but a friend highly recommended it for its location. Two weeks ago we went and I was pleasantly surprised. It looked renovated, was very small with 2 twin beds, and was clean except when I looked under the bed to see if we had forgotten anything. I usually like three star AAA motels but this was fine. The staff was efficient and pleasant, the lobby was real nice, and it was close to Broadway shows and Gray Line tours and the visitor's center, and the other clientele looked very nice -- alot of airline people.<BR><BR>I would definitely stay there again.

Last December, we scored a room with two double beds at the Madison (on Madison Ave, naturally) for $85, including four breakfast tokens to the Greasy Spoon next door. The hotel is okay, the area is good, and while it may not be the cheapest in town, it will probably give you what you want. Ring them direct. Good luck!

After writing the above, I decided to check out the rates for the Madison on their own website.... they still offer family rooms at their "Stand Up for New York" rate of $88. Address is Madison and East 27th St, so you're almost at Macy's and the Empire State.
