Average price for decent hotel in NYC

MissMayflower27

Hello

Just wondering what the average price per night for a hotel in midtown manhatten (walking distance to time square) would be? We're looking in June 2011 and wondered what would be seen as average / a good deal? We've seen some for around £140 a night but don't know if thats a lot for NYC!

Also, any hotel recommendations welcome.

Thanks

I stayed in the Hilton Times Square in December which was really good value for money as they had 4 nights for the price of 3 when i booked (8 months before travel). We used the subway afew times but most things were within walking distance!
£140 a night is not a bad price if it's a nice central hotel, you can save money by staying abit further out but as it's usually a short city break you want to be within a reasonsable distance to sights and shops

Priceline should get you something for less than £100 if you do your research.

New York hotels are getting silly expensive lately. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on W 29th St near MSG 2 years ago for about £50/night. I've just forked out about £170/night for the same hotel next week. I loathed to pay so much but everywhere else is just as expensive so might as well stick with somewhere i've had a good experience with.

I am guessing you did not use the Friends and Family Rate (too late to book for next week now)?

I did use the F&F rate. Maybe it wasn't quite that much but not far off. I'm staying 10 nights on my trip at various different IHG hotels, all booked on the F&F rate.

hotels in NY are always expensive, especially in downtown manhatten, ie; times square, but it's the best place to stay, what you spend on hotels you will make up on what you spend, everything is soooo cheap when you get there & defo go to katz deli, where harry met sally was filmed, they make the best sandwhiches & ENORMOUS, all the presidents past & present have been there, have a fab time

Go to dealbase dot com. Scroll down to the bottom and select New York City. This site lists all of the best hotel offers for the next four months. eg:

"Wake Up Wired Package" + Breakfast For Two, Internet
Sheraton Manhattan at Times Square New York City, NY
Travel Dates: Weekends Through Dec 31, 2010

If a hotel has a special deal, eg free breakfast, one night free etc, this site collects the info and posts it. I got a deal at MGM in Vegas for $54 a night for the room including 24/7 access to their buffet. The dinner buffet alone cost around $30 each.

I realise this won't help the OP who wants to travel in June 11 but if she waits until February, she may get a better deal.

The offers come and go but for near term booking it's always worth a look.

I wouldn't dismiss staying off Manhattan. Look at Queens or Brooklyn with good subway links or PATH trains from New Jersey. You can be just a few minutes away staying in better and cheaper rooms.
