idolmind86 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 As I posted in my thread in the PRICELINE subforum I have to split my vacation hotel stay up because the dates 9/17 and 9/18 are really expensive in the city proper. I was wondering where would be a good place to stay outside of Manhattan proper that has easy island access but still will afford a cheap hotel stay. I'd like to stay under 200 dollars a night.I'm flying in to JFK but don't really care where I stay as long as it has good city access. Also, I'll have no car so I won't be able to get from the hotel to public transportation unless it is walking distance.From snooping around other threads it looks like Hoboken is a good idea but would somewhere else be better? I'm nervous on bidding on priceline because I don't want to end up far away from public transportation and am wondering if this will be a problem as well. Link to comment
laconic Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 choose chelsea area with 2.5 star and you can add Times square areayou would end up getting Holiday Inn express - chelsea or 2.5* Hilton Garden Inn for 120$ -150$ Link to comment

FabiFlor Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Can I reactivate this topic? Let's go to NY in 5 people, 2 couples and a child, and thus can not room through Priceline because we are not sure how many beds in the room. So where can I stay near NYC with easy access and safe with rate than USD100 per room? Thank you. :)Oh let the period of 09Dec the 16Dez, and the boy is 14 years. We will arrive in NEWARK. Thanks again. Link to comment

idolmind86 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Sorry, I've completely forgotten about this thread. I believe I've been to NY twice since I posted this.For this stay I ended up attempting to stay with a friend in Queens in what ended up being a very less than desirable situation. After the first night I used the PRICELINE links from here and ended up booking the Parker Meridien for the next night (9/18) at $150 a night.Since then I've found that if I am unable to book a good rate before my stay in the city I will use something like quickbook hotels and book a cancellable reservation. By doing so I have always been able to book a cheaper four star hotel in the city (although sometimes it comes down to the wire, and frequently it will be split among multiple hotels).Sorry I am unable to comment on the original topic of the thread. Like I said, I tried staying with a friend in Queens and ended up "sleeping" on the floor of a strangers house with people coming and going all night long. That morning I immediately booked a hotel in the city. Link to comment
