NY experts - taxi, bus, or?

Arriving LaGuardia on Thursday, Feb 23 at 1605 (4 pm) with carryon. What is best way to reach Red Roof Inn on W 32 St if roads are good? in a snow storm?
Thanks

Take a taxi. It's the quickest and easiest. It will cost somewhere around $40. The roads are fine. The snow is already quite a bit melted and they did a good job plowing. The likelihood of having another snowfall of any consequence is next to nothing.

You will hit some rush hour traffic, but you hotel is not far from the midtown tunnel (most likely the route into Manhattan).

If $ are more important than money I think you can get the hotel "direct" to your hotel for about $20. The only thing is - the shuttle goes direct to a lot of hotels - and since you're pretty far downtown it may take quite a while (1.5 - 2 hours) for the trip - depending on how many hotels they stop at further uptown.

Call Super Shuttle (The Blue Van) and make a reservation.
Should run you approx. $18.00.

Google them.

Taxi or car service. Cost is about the same (the car service can be less if heavy traffic).

At 4pm, I'd probably reserve a car because the taxi line could be long.

Also, if it matters, you can pay a car service with credit card.

If you're 1 person, not in a rush, take the Airport Shuttle that goes to PENN STATION which isn't far from your hotel. If there are 2 of you or you're in a rush, take a taxi or order a car service from
carmellimo.com or
telavivlimo.com

All the options listed here

You can take the Airlink Shuttle which is $28 roundtrip. You can go to their website and make reservations.
