Hotel in New York - Choosing the Right One for Your Visit

Choosing a hotel in New York is not an easy task for someone who has never been to New York City and is unfamiliar with the city layout and the neighborhoods. You donВ’t want to end up in a hotel in New York across town from everything you want to do and see, because you will spend all of your time on foot and on the subway-or hailing a cab. If you want suggestions on how to pick a hotel in New York, one of the best suggestions that you can get is to decide what you want to do, and then pick your hotel. Here is some information that may help you in the decision making process:

If you want to be in the middle of the action, a hotel in New York or Manhattan to be specific is where you should stay.

Lower Manhattan: If you want a low priced hotel in New York City, you can find it here. You can also find Soho, China Town, Little Italy, Wall Street, Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and Wall Street.

Midtown Manhattan (East and West Side): The East Side of Midtown Manhattan would be a likely location for a higher priced hotel in New York. If you love to shop or even window shop, this is the place for you-you can find high priced fashion and dining to match. On the other hand, if you are ready for a more exciting night life and no sleep, try the West Side-it has not only Times Square, but Broadway as well. It is a walkerВ’s paradise-because you can get nearly anywhere you want to go on foot.

Upper Manhattan (East and West Side): A hotel in New York CityВ’s Upper East Side will cost you a pretty penny unless you find a great deal somewhere, but it is the location of the CityВ’s finest museums. Central Park divides the East from the West and the farther you go west from the Park, the less expensive the hotels are.

If you can avoid it, try not to stay out of the city even if you think you can save some money-you will spend it all, and then some on parking, driving or transportation. The subways and buses do a great job of getting people around and you can always walk.
