Guest Low Roller Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm headed up to NYC in August, and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for cheap hotels, cheap parking, good/bad neighbourhoods, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm assuming you are staying in Manhattan? To save some money, you may look into parking in Hoeboken NJ, and taking the train to Manhattan. I stayed at the famous Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan last year. It's a colourful place with an interesting pop culture related history and recommended: http://www.hotelchelsea.com/Also, most of Manhattan is safe - even Harlem, but not including the Bronx - and my favourite sections are Greenwich Village and Soho. Times Square is interesting, but is an overload of the senses and grossly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 i booked the sheraton times square on priceline for $90 in April. granted, that might not happen in August.another alternative is staying in secaucus, NJ. which is literally a 15 minute bus ride into port authority. buses run pretty late. i've booked hotels there through priceline as well. paid about $80 in august a few years ago for the hilton suites.not sure that cheap parking exists.

skelter Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I stayed at Hotel Edison in December ... great if you want Times Square, and pretty cheap for where it is. Not a hugely classy place, but decent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 We went even farther out to Newerk NJ the last two times and stayed really cheap by the airport and trained it in. Both trips were around 50 a night.OK to dao but the second time it just started to feel like a bit of a hassle spending almost an hr each way travelling.
