Discount Hotel New York City
Looking for a Discount Hotel? New York City has a surprisingly large selection.
While the sights are alluring, the price tag for a trip to NY can be steep. Many people look for a discount hotel, so that they can have more of their budgeted “trip money” for other things. The truth is few New York tourists spend a lot of time in their hotel rooms. So for those people, less amenities at a lower price is the winning solution.
How to find the best discount hotel New York City has to offer? The internet is the greatest resource for do-it-yourself travel planners. You could start looking one the big-name travel sites such as Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, but there are others on the web that may offer a better price.
Just click any link that you find on the web (they seem to be everywhere nowadays) and check out what that site has to offer. I recommend that you click on several different links that offer a discount hotel in New York City, so that you can really get a feel for what is out there.
You can also search by hotel chain because sometimes going directly to the source will save more than a big travel site (for example: New Yorker Hotel , Red Roof Inn , Super 8 Hotel Times Square). Also consider Bed & Breakfasts, Hostels (more info below) , Inns, Guesthouses or even renting a temporary apartment (http://www.abodenyc.com).
A great NYC hotel tip to keep in mind: If you only plan to use a hotel room to sleep, shower and change clothes in order to go out again, then consider an accommodation that is slightly outside of the “hot spot.” Transportation (fabulous subway system, taxis, private car, etc) is easily accessible and readily available most of the time 24/7. You may save as much as 30% on your lodging. |
A couple of things to keep in mind when planning your next trip to New York:
Location, Location, Location New York City is divided into several districts and these districts usually determine the range of hotel fees you're going to encounter.
Do you want your hotel to be situated in Manhattan, where most New York attractions can be found?
Or do you want to stay in a chic, upbeat district? If so, then the hotels in Soho and Chelsea and the likes are probably what you're looking for.
Fortunately for the cost-conscience traveler, one of the best alternatives to a discount hotel New York City has to offer is a hostel…and they are located all over the City. The general price range for a stay at a NYC hostel is anywhere from $15-$125 per night. You can choose from dorm-style or private room. Most come with a free breakfast and all come with clean sheets and towels.
I can speak from experience, hostels are worth looking into. This is a great New York travel deal!
Who are you traveling with? Of course, hostels are NOT for everyone. Those traveling with kids will probably not be able to stay in one, as the age limit is usually 16 or 18 and up.
For those interested in a simple discount hotel, New York City will not disappoint. You can find them all over the city with a range of amenities to fit your traveling needs and budget. The price range for these discount hotels are around $80-$325, usually depending on location and amenities. Again check the many options available online when choosing your hotel. There are the big-name sites, the smaller (sometimes more- competitive) sites, and even the hotel chain's websites.
However, If you are free to choose whatever accommodation you want (or can afford), I cannot emphasize how great a hostel can be for your budget and for your New York "experience." They are truly the best discount "hotel" New York City has to offer its visitors.
So if you are looking for a discount hotel. New York City will meet or exceed your expectations and provide you with many to choose from. Not to mention all of the fun you can have with the money that you will save by choosing a low-budget accommodation.
