TRavelling alone, any advice on fair priced accomodation?

Im stuck, cant find a single hotel that looks decent and worth the cost. Im travelling to NY on 21st Oct for 5 nights and would like to stay in a central location. I had alook at Milford PLaza, which will cost around $1172 all up, is this reasonable?

Try the following, the Milford Plaza is not the greatest:

Hotel QT

Hotel 41

The Belvedere

Travel Inn

Portland Square

These are in the Times Square area.

Upper West Side hotels that are recommended:

Beacon

Bellecaire

Newton

Jacks B %26amp; B

The Affinia hotels are also well revieved, with various NYC locations...www.afinia.com

Sorry, www.affinia.com

Tatjana, do you definitely need a hotel? There are other types of accommodations that price out just as well, if not better than the hotel prices you listed.

Try a search on this forum for ';vacation apartments';. You%26#39;ll find lots of links and recommendations.

Prices are just out of sight this fall. You don%26#39;t mention a budget. I wouldn%26#39;t stay at the Milford Plaza. Locals refer to it as the Mildew Plaza. It%26#39;s certainly not worth that price. The Stanford and the Herald Square are 2 budget places near Penn Station that are cheap and cheerful, but not where I%26#39;d choose to be (safe but not very attractive area).

If you can handle $232/night plus tax, the Salisbury shows availability for that price for a total of $1,160 (PLUS tax) on quikbook.com You can check the hotel%26#39;s own website to see if you can get the same price through them (nycsalisbury.com). This appears to be for a regular room. A one bedroom suite is $267/night, also on quikbook.

Radio City Apartments (radiocityapartments.com) is another I%26#39;d try.

You could try bidding on Priceline but I don%26#39;t know how much success you%26#39;d have. If you don%26#39;t know the ropes, go to biddingfortravel.com or betterbidding.com for advice.

Your other option is to consider a hosted apartment (staying in someone%26#39;s apt with your own bedroom and bath). This may sound a bit scarey but we%26#39;ve had several posters here rave about a service
