Hotel advice New York City

Ed Carpenter · 03-13-2013, 03:39 AM

My wife and I are going on vacation in June to NYC. I want to be in the times square area. Was going to book on priceline and stay at the holiday inn express times square. A friend said you don't want to stay there its a bad area. What hotels in times square should I be looking at? Thanks. Ed

Grand Hyatt at Grand Central on 42nd street. Was fully renovated in 2004 and MLB stays there when in town or the Westin at Grand Central, formally the Helmsley Hotel that was just renovated last year. Neither are inexpensive but you won't be disappointed.

I've stayed at the Marriott Marquis right in Times Square. Very convenient and comfortable.

Hilton is right next to Madam Truseau's Wax Museum which is a hoot, especially with a group !
VERY VERY NICE HOTEL!!!!

The Chatwal. Nice place, great location. Located on 44th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. Just stayed there for 5 nights.

Try Hotwire or Priceline Just stay with a 4 star midtown and you will be fine.
Here is a very helpful site.
