Days Hotel Midtown, New York City

Advantages: Excellent Location
Disadvantages: Food

...Although the hotel is situated in one of the best locations in New York City (it is a couple of blocks away from the centre of Times Square), it lacks a little quality. The restaurant facilities are not up to much, especially breakfast-wise and the rooms are nothing special. However, it is better than most hotels in New York and the location does more than make up for the slight lack of quality. The hotel is situated in a midtown location which is ideal for shopping and seeing most of the NYC sites.... Read review

Advantages: location, location, location
Disadvantages: not as luxurious as some might prefer

You can arrive at New York's two main airports; Newark or the famous John F Kennedy or JFK. It takes about an hour to get to the centre of Manhattan using either Carey buses, Greyhound or Olympia Trails, all costing around $11 into the centre. Accomodation is very expensive, with an average hotel costing around $75 a night, but if you want to see all the sights, you won't be in the hotel for long each day, so be realistic about whether it is worth spending lots of money for a hotel outside the centre of New York, for basically a room for a night.
