Our Top Ten New York Hotel Picks
Great Deals on New York Hotels near the Subway and Attractions
It's no secret that hotels in New York are expensive, which is not surprising in view of the fact that New York also has the highest real estate prices in North America. Not to worry though, as we have carefully chosen our top ten hotel picks with an eye to value. We have chosen hotels at several price points in several districts in and around Manhattan that have received an abundance of good to excellent overall reviews from actual guests.
Generally speaking you can get lower rates on accommodations if you are willing to stay outside of Manhattan. This isn't all that bad really, as it is still easy to get into Manhattan and the major attractions using the subway.
If you don't see something you like in our top ten list, just visit our HotelFinder which will automatically search 100's of hotel booking sites and hotel websites and quickly find you the absolute best price on the hotel of your choice. The large map on each hotel page will help you find a hotel near a subway station or your favourite attractions. You can also use the Google street view feature to view the hotel's surroundings. You will find numerous pictures of the hotel's interior on each page as well. Enjoy!
