We are planning to visit in July and want to see the key sites and go to a Yankees game if we can get tickets. What would be the best area to stay in and do you have hotel suggestions moderatly priced please. Any other tips are helpful.
Family of 4 – 2 adults a 13 and 10 year old also. Thanks
The Hyatt Regency or the Marriot in Times Square. How ever, you asked for moderately prices hotels in NYC. Unfortunately they don’t exist anymore, the minimum rate for a room in midtown Manhattan is usually around $200 per night. You may find rooms for less in either Queens or Brooklyn but the location is not as good.
Moderately priced and New York City don’t go together.
If you want best location, anywhere in Midtown near 7th Ave. or Lexington Ave. or Broadway will mostly likely be near a subway station that will allow you to get anywhere in the city.
As for price, the average price of a hotel room in New York City is now over $300 per night. That’s an average, so it’s going to include places in Queens and Staten Island and the less desirable locations (like places where *********** frequent). If you want a decent hotel in Manhattan, where you won’t fear for your children, expect to start at $400 (unless you’re going in January or February when the rates are a little less).
I’m not soo sure if it will be a good price but the best hotel to stay at is by far the Marriot Marquee in Times Square. My Uncle works in managment at the hotel so we get to go their every summer to stay. The place is amazing. It has numerous resturants and shops inside. They even have a beyond amazing all glass fitness studio which I do believe is award winning. The hotel is most definetly the best location seeming as it is right square in the middle of Times Square. The hotel may be a little pricier but you will save money on cabs and subways because there are so many wonderful things within walking distance from the Marquee including Broadway, Toys R US, Hard Rock, and Good Morning America.
Hope I could help!
You can always stay across the river in New Jersey. There is a Days Inn and the hotel’s van will take you to Grand Central Station. From there you can pretty much see everything in NYC. Take the subway to all of your locations – it is very easy to use.
The Sheraton New York Hotel & Tower is the best place, I believe for someone to stay in Manhattan. It is on the corner of 53rd and 7th in Midtown, just north of Times Square, and this 4 star hotel is available at only $179/night on Orbitz!!!
The Marriot in Times Square is very nice
The Wellington Hotel is a pretty good location….it’s right near Times Square….from the front door you’ll be looking at Times Square….and it’s moderately priced
You’ll have to take the subway to Yankee stadium (or a cab). You don’t want to stay in a hotel in the Bronx where the stadium is….it’s too bad of an area and it is near nothing….
I live on 14th Street near Union Square. I have never stayed at the Union Square Inn, but I walk by it everyday. It appears to be nice and I read about in NY Magazine as an affordable hotel. The people that come in and out seem to be mostly Europeans, clean and “normal”. The rooms will run you anywhere from $79 a night if you share a bath to $169 a night for the most expensive room. They have quite a few prices in between, check the site below. It is a safe neighborhood, centrally located in Manhattan and very close to the Union Square subway station where you can catch the 4 train right on up to 161st Street Yankee stadium. Final year in the stadium. Go Yanks!
