I'll be leaving on a short trip to new york which will be my first time in the city....and was wondering whether it would be a good idea to actually look for a hotel when I land in new york city or book something online........are budget hotels packed on weekends or is it easy to just have a cab-driver take you somewhere and check in there and then...
somewhat of a stupid question....i know....but all responses would be greatly appreciated.....my main quirk is that i'll like to get a first hand feel of the place instead of just booking something online..

BOOK ONLINE.......DON'T WASTE PRECIOUS TIME LOOKING AROUND THE CITY FOR A HOTEL.............YOU'LL MISS ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

Do yourself a favor and book something ahead of time. You'll make yourself crazy looking for a place to stay, and you'll end up paying a fortune for it. Not a good way to start your trip. I can suggest you try the Holiday Inn on West 57th Street (yes, a Holiday Inn). It's perfectly nice, in fact, even New Yorkers use the rooftop pool in the summer. Check that one out online, I think you'd like it.

My feeling is that we keep money so as that we've it to spend it on existence's pleasures, and it is particularly certainly one of existence's pleasures. that's what my relatives has carried out besides; it may take an prolonged time to repay the charges, yet we've taken journeys that we are able to have memories of for an entire life. those stories are worthwhile. i'm particularly slightly biased, yet i'm going to bypass on checklist as asserting that NYC is a type of places that folk in basic terms would desire to verify. If it is something which you rather need to do, I say take the trip, and supply your mom a great thank-you. She has given thought to this, crunched the numbers, and located that regardless of if it potential slightly sacrifice, you could pull this off. it will make her satisfied to verify you satisfied. perhaps you could help out besides; if all of you come across the thank you to keep a complete of roughly 2 pounds daily, which will conceal this trip. If that's a possibility, according to risk even locate an element-time pastime, or do some little spectacular jobs alongside the way. perhaps a type of years, whilst it is complete, you will locate the thank you to take the relatives on a visit, carry them over to verify all the total issues you observed once you have been in school. Do it; i do no longer think of all and sundry in touch would be apologetic approximately it.

Book before. For sure. You'll never get a great walk-up rate. If you worry about the hotel, go to www.tripadvisor.com and do some research before you book. Have fun!

i would FOR SURE book my hotel ahead of time....you don't want to risk the chance of not finding one once you're there...imagine, getting off the plane tired and hungry and not being able to find a hotel. i was in new york it's fun! but you want to be prepared...especially if your traveling along....plus the faster you get settled in the faster you can enjoy your trip :)

I just went to NYC last summer. It's gonna be way less of a hassle to book a hotel now online then find one while you're there.
Oh, while you're there you absolutly have to go see Madame Tusad's wax mueseum, it was so cool, please at least check it out! Have fun.

You might want to check at www.travelocity.com . I used that website to bookn a two-week vacation in Belgium recently and I was very happy with the result. www.expedia.com is also a good resource.
