Hotel in the City

brooklynbound

I'm looking for a hotel in the city for a Saturday night. Does anyone have any suggestions. Somewhere fun and not too expensive, under $200. I'm not too picky. It would be for fun and to crash in the city while I'm out. I want a central location - Times Square to East Village. Any suggestions appreciated.

I know that. Ha! I've been on hotels.com and trip advisor, but would prefer to hear from actual people who live here! Thanks for nada!

Pretty rude of you to respond that way after someone took the time to respond to you asking for suggestions. A simple thanks for your response or thanks for your effort would have sufficed !

Well, who stays in hotels when you live here? They are soooo expensive. I haven't been to a hotel in NYC since 1981.

Well, at least not for more than an hour.

Uh...wow. I love how people get offended by things that don't have anything to do with them.

I got an email today from Hilton with rates $199-209 for NYC hotels for the next few weekends. It was a promotion from their rewards programs which is free to join.

Not in the least offended just think they were rude to say" thanks for nothing and ha i know that " when the person was trying to be helpful. Since you are not the original op and it doesnt have anything to do with you I guess you felt the need to put in your 2 cents huh? I guess you should have directed that response to yourself.

I just ignore these things. Meredith knows how I write. Next!

Brooklynbound's "thanks for nada" comment was rude.

If Brooklynbound was not so rude, Brooklynbound might have more friends in this town who would provide Brooklynbound with "fun" accommodations.

Married people committing adultery. Teens who want to party without strict parents. People getting kicked out of their homes. Someone who is allergic to the mold growing in their walls. Someone who wants to commit suicide. Criminals on the run. Hookers....

Hilarious. Why would we want to stay at someone's home? The point is to have a hotel. It's a party night. We are partying in the hotel. Some of us have a life and get to have fun and enjoy ourselves! OK, that's all the response you'll get from me. Next!

I thought they all just stayed with friends.

Um, people who are acting out fantasies with a lover?

WAH! I have to attack someone today - even though what they're doing has no bearing on my life! I must do it!! Anyone got a prop 8 bill I can sign?


Christ Almighty.

I'm planning on staying at a hotel in the city this summer using some of the 4 free weekend nights I've earned through all my biz travel. I'm thinking one of the W hotels when my sis and mom are here visiting. It'll be a nice little vaca from life.

Def do Union Sq. Love that one. So sexy.

Whatever you do, DO NOT book the Hotel Carter - Tripso rates it as the dirtiest hotel in America. If you search hotel sites it inevitably comes up at around $80 per night. I have stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania at MSG, it is also a dirty hotel that I would not accommodate a pox ridden pig in. Skyline Hotel is shabby but a bit cleaner than the Hotel Pennsylvania. $200 is not a lot of money to spend on a Saturday night hotel in Manhattan. You might try Jersey City and catch the PATH train into town. Or there's a Marriott in downtown Brooklyn.

I am thinking about Stay, Hotel Azure, and Hotel 91. Any feedback?

I booked a night at the Library Hotel in Midtown... 40th & Lex, I think, many moons ago (probably 5-6 yrs, actually) for my wife's birthday. Pre-spawn, of course. It was an incredibly nice, cool place to stay... room numbers are based on the Dewey Decimal System, and there are numerous "theme" rooms based upon literature, i.e., poetry room, romance room, Shakespeare room, etc.

Unfortunately, as I recall, it was quite a bit beyond that $200 cap you had. And that was a bunch of years ago.


Also, if you decide to splurge and go anyway, I'd recommend against booking the Stephanie Meyer room... you and your husband may wake up the next morning transformed into hideously annoying, screeching tween girls with all the brain cells sucked from their heads. Just saying.
