Reasonable Manhattan hotel
 

Is there any simple clean hotels near Times Square or around the vicinity that someone can recommend. My husband and I only need a little clean room. Everything seems to be over $300, can we get anything for less?

Check Travelzoo for deals or do a "secret deal" on hotwire...have always had decent places (and Im picky!)

Not in Times Square, but Hotel Newton on the Upper West Side has great rates.

It is only a few blocks from Central Park and you can cut across the park to get to Metropolitan MUSEUM of Art/5th Ave.

Great neighborhood.

TTT

You might try Salisbury Hotel 57th St.

Prices in NYC go from high to higher depending on dates. When is this trip? Pod Hotels?

You can stayed in Millennium Broadway Hotel - Times Square. Good hotel, Air-conditioned rooms, Internet facility, parking and most of all reasonable prices which you need.

Check the Row Hotel, on 8th ave., between 44th and 45th.
Small, clean, modern rooms. Nice public areas. You can probably find something there in the $150 range.

When will you be here. There will be lots of places for less than $300 per night in Jan and very few around Thanksgiving.

Also - we know $300 is too much - how much are you willing to pay? $250? $200? If you're looking for $100 that's not a price in NYC - even in Jan - except for bidding Priceline and not knowing what hotel (perhaps very unpleasant) you might get. At the Newton you can get rooms for about $130 plus tax in Jan and about $160 plus tax in March - with prices going up from there throughout the year.

We don;t live far from the Newton. It's a great area and a reliable budget choice that's only 2 subway stops from TS.

If you want a cheap hotel, then you need to expand your search beyond Manhattan, where there are a lot of hotels under $200 per night, primarily in Long Island City Queens, which is exactly 4 subway stops (about 12 minutes) from Times Square. The Country Inn & Suites is a block from a major subway interchange that offers choices of lines that go to Midtown on both the east and west sides between 42nd street and 59th Street. It's often under $150 a night.

Have you bid on Priceline/Hotwire. Looked at booking.com, hotels.com.
Why do you want to be around Times Square!!

"Why do you want to be around Times Square!!"

Just a guess and maybe the OP will respond, but normally the reason for that is that Times Square area is the area of New York City most unlike where most of us live. And many of us who travel prefer to stay in places the most unlike where we live.

But I'd also ask (along with WHEN you are going) how many nights?

My latest discovery is a wonderful "last minute booking specials" site called hoteltonight.com It's especially great if you can book a place that you can cancel up to day of arrival. And while this site lets you book for several days (but only up to a week in advance) the best prices are day of arrival only -- although often the same price will be good for a stay of several days. Examples -- today --Hilton Garden Inn Chelsea $99; Hilton Garden Inn Times Square $115; Hotel Belleclaire, Upper West Side $ 89; Hampton Inn Chelsea $109. Holiday Inn Express Times Square $108. Plenty more.

Maybe Radio City Apartments. It's simple and decent and you have a little kitchenette. Great location, a couple blocks walk into the heart of Times Square and really close subway access. Rate will depend on time of year. They offer a discount for AAA members. I have my res there for June :)

i never understood the whole ''location location location'' thing. if i cared about what was outside, i would live outside -____-

btw check out the AFFINIA MANHATTAN

We just stayed at the Holiday Inn Midtown last weekend for $160 after tax. It was a basic hotel but relatively roomy and clean for the city. It's on 57th street, and just a few blocks from Central Park, and walking distance from Times Square. Nothing special, but the price can't be beat!

Yes, but that's the JANUARY price. I don;t see that the OP says when they are going - and that is a major price factor.

Dobby is back!!

Yes, now he sharing an apt in the village with a 70 year old man - IF you believe it.

As for his silly posts on other topics - best simply ignored.

we got a good price at the Hilton Garden Inn Times square. But that was for this February.

The NY Hilton Midtown has been offering good winter prices, and I find I can often get it for under $300 except at peak times.

China, are you usually just there for one night? Several of the Hilton Garden Inns (including the "Times Square" and "Chelsea" ones) keep coming up on the "last minute" booking site: hoteltonight.com I'm talking like right around $100. Great if you can rebook last minute and cancel a held reservation there or somewhere else. I just looked and for tonight, the Chelsea one (28th) is $109, the one on 35th is $99.

we're going for 3 nights (and three shows, of course :) ). With my mom going, I got a senior discount which put it at $143 for a room with 2 beds. That's probably good enough for me. I love being that close to the theaters, so the after-show walk is short, especially in February! It is cancellable, so if something better goes on last minute sale, I could take advantage.

Yes, GREAT rate!

What three shows?

I was really impressed by The Jewel Hotel which faces Rockefeller Center. The location can't be beat! I stayed there alone for one night last summer and would recommend it to anyone.

I don't see that sbfrench even bothered to respond about the dates, as I know hotels less than $300, it isn't hard if it isn't an in-demand period. But if it's mid-January, for example, that's not so hard. I never spend that much. I spent less than that during Thanksgiving, actually, at an Applecore hotel near Times Sq which I've used several times. I was only going for theater so wanted to be in that location. I stay at the Broadway at Times Square, but they have another one just a block or two farther east which is a bit cheaper. I think I paid about $250 a night, and that was during Thanksgiving weekend.

The Warwick up near Carnegie hall has rates around $250 a lot of the time, also. So does the Edison.

The OP never returned - so we know neither their dates nor their budget.

Not much more we can do without info.

And that's a wrap

Check your dates using www.kayak.com. It's a database and will show you available hotels and rates.

Neo-- We're actually going for a couple of older shows that somehow we've missed. I was so disappointed that Side Show was closing before we get there, that was our first choice. So we're going to see the Lion King (nope, never saw it), Book of Mormon, and the one newer play: The Curious Incident of the Dog in Nighttime.

Great choices, China. The Curious Incident is one of the most exciting shows I've seen in ages.

Yea, too bad about Side Show.

Interesting about Side Show - I really wanted to like it more than I did. Some good talent, good story but the book and tech were weak, I thought.

I was just searching Manhattan hotels on kayak.com with "Good" or better guest ratings under $250 and found several for June.
