Hi. Before going to New York City, you're going to have to check out the hotel reviews given by customers who have stayed at the hotel because alot of NYC hotels are deceiving. Go to trip advisor (click the link below because it directs you to the New York hotels) and you will get the real scoop on any hotel. But your best bet is to stay at a bed and breakfast in someone's home, which is what my parents-in-law did when they first visited NYC and they really enjoyed their stay/trip. Bed and breakfasts hosts/owners are much more accomodating and their rooms are much more CHEAPER than the hotels because they include breakfast! If you want your privacy, some owners even have apartments you can rent just for yourself, even the apartments are cheaper than staying at the hotels! Go to craigslist (the link below directs you directly to the NYC bed and breakfasts) and find which one fits your budget. Email the owners, tell them which dates you are planning to stay, ask lots of questions,ask for pictures, and remember to always go with your intuition!
PS. When searching through the bed and breakfasts, unless you know about the other NYC boroughs, only inquire about the Manhattan location listings! If you are not sure if the location is in Manhattan, ASK. Some listings are out of town also, so you don't want to overlook that. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
PSS. I also know of someone that owns a guest house and an apartment in New York City that you can rent. The apartment includes a kitchen, washer/dryer, and has continental breakfast. It's for $140 per night- it's good if you have a big family or traveling in a group. You can email me at biz4bks@yahoo.com and I will give you his contact info. You can inquire his availability about the apartment just give your dates you plan on being in New York City. My parents in law stayed at one of his guest rooms when they first visited New York and they loved it! The apartment is located on the 2nd floor above the guest rooms.
