Hi,
Looking for some hotel recommendations on the Upper West side within walking distance of the Natural History Museum. Price range under $300./night.
Thanks!

The Lucerne and On the Ave

Prices will fluctuate based on dates. You can't get closer than the Excelsiorhotelny.com but check around for prices. Quikbook.com and kayak.com are worth a look and often have prices lower than the hotel's own site.

Other hotels in the area are ontheave-ny.com, beaconhotel.com, milburnhotel.com, http://www.thelucernehotel.com/

Thanks! I'll look at those hotels.

On the AVe was running an internet special at bargain rates - not sure if it's still on- but definitely worth looking.
