New York hotels

We stayed at the Marmara hotel, E94th street (not the one on park avenue!!) It was really nice,and a subway stop (Q line I think) right outside the door.

It wasnt that expensive from what i remember.

I'm going to NY for 4 nights just before Thsnksgiving. I booked it in May. We got our flights for 440euro return each, and the Fitzpatricks Grand Central for 200dollars a night. I booked the hotel directly. Its probably the cheapest deal I've gotten in 15 yesrs of going there.

Hi @purple puffin , Well I'm planning to go back if the price is right again this year. I won't lie it has pros and cons. We were upgraded on arrival and we were given one of the large suites. The room was quite large compared to other king size rooms on the same floor. The location was ideal for access to Grand Central Station, however at night the surrounding area is dead with very little bars and restaurants. But we found one great bar closeby that we loved so wasn't a problem for us. The hotel is clean. Staff are pleasant. The bar food was nice. However, we tried a drink there one night and being so close to Thanksgiving I thought they should have Christmas music playing like other bars. Instead they had this African music playing in the bar, quite bizarre. It was dead in there too at night. There's a fab coffee shop next door serving great pastries and coffee, suited us both as we aren't big breakfast lovers. I was thrilled with what we paid for the four nights do hoping to rebook again. Look out for their stay long discount code when booking direct.

Thank you so much i wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the time I spent reading your post.

Thanks, not my first time there… just on a bit of a budget and on the lookout for a bit of value(lol) but it's hard to find and flagging that I think they lower the prices closer to the dates to fill up rooms. I found this last time I went too, but I'm also cautious as a lot of hotels in NY are now being used for emergency accommodation.

Agree, that you can't beat staying in Manhattan and having an ocean of options all within walking distance. Greenwich village/jazz area being one of my favourite parts.

I'll also throw out a lovely Italian restaurant recommendation if anyone is planning a trip over - John's on 12th Street…you won't be disappointed.

Thanks all… I cracked and splashed out, will be staying in the East Village. It's mad… the hotel prices have almost doubled since I last went in March 2022.

Hoping for a strong euro and a weak dollar by October! Who knows what state the US will be in by then…

Yes, but an almost one hundred percent increase is a serious jump.
