Signature SoHo Suites, New York City

Advantages: Cheap and right on Times Square
Disadvantages: A bit on the shabby side

...Hotel Carter is often referred to as a hostel but I wouldn't go that far. Although it's not exactly New York luxury the room was en-suite and was clean and a good size, if a little dated (the carpet on the wall is somewhat different!). The Hotel didn't have a restaurant but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. If you are just after a cheap weekend in the Big Apple you can't get a much more central location than this Hotel which is just off Times Square and for the money compared to other NY hotels I think it is great value. Especially since you'll probably spend very little time in hotel room with the rest of New York to explore!... Read review

Advantages: City with a WOW! factor
Disadvantages: Can be overwhelming / tiring if you try to do too much

...New York is everything anyone could imagine about a concrete metropolis. I am not a big city person but the big apple takes your breath away. The sheer enormity of the place can be overwhelming! The theatres are wonderful, and reasonably priced, if you do your homework. There are shops of every size and type and many bargains to be found if you take the time to look. If eating places are important then this is your city. Just about every country in the world is represented, with prices to suit every budget. The people are as diverse as the city itself, be prepared for some straight talking... Doing some pre-visit research will save you time and money. Get yourself organised for the city experience of a lifetime!... Read review

Advantages: many stores and attactions
Disadvantages: confusing

...New York is a city of business. But it's also a city of tourism and culture with it's great museums and attractions. Everybody should go tere and try out the New York subway. The amount of different people and places are amazing. Central park is a must. They have the cleanest park I have ever seen and have these floral arrangements that are fabulous. But you can't forget about shopping, it's just too hard, there's too many stores to choose from. Overall, New York city is fantastic to visit but personnally, I find it too confusing to live in....
