Woodbury Park Hotel, Woodbury

Advantages: Lots of good sized shops with good discounts
Disadvantages: A day trip and New York City offers much the same in Macys

...I have been to Woodbury Common a couple of times and know several people who have too. Mody of us are of the same opinion..it's great. However, if you are going to be doing any shopping in New York City the likely hood is that you will be able to find everything you need in the likes of Macy's, Century 21, Old Navy, etc. If you're passing Woodbury Common, and you have the time (there are loads of shops) call in, but I don't know if I would make it a day trip if there were other sights I might miss due to it.. It is very clean and family friendly though and pretty easy to find by car , if you have someone who can map read. The road signs in the USA take a little while to get used to. Also beware of the tolls. They are cheap, but sometimes you get a ticket which you then give to the next toll and the price depends on how are you... Read review

...What do you love most about New York? Is it the fabulous architecture, the hustle of the busy city, the bright lights of times square of just the amazing sights??

Claiming to have over 220 branded stores the thought of it was getting my credit card... Read review

Advantages: Lots to see, plenty of places to visit, fantastic restaurants
Disadvantages: Can be expensive to travel over and stay at peak times

...and other properties in that are were costing a small fortune and as I had decided to go with my mum we decided to stay closer to the Empire State Building and this proved to be a good place as we were close to the subway so we could travel and meet up with friends in the evening and also we could enjoy ourselves doing the sightseeing all within walking distance. The point that I am getting to is just because you want to go to the Theatre this doesn't mean you have to stay on Broadway, if you want to be in Times Square there are plenty of hotels in the surrounding area that will cost you a lot less and similarily with Central Park it is a few stops away on the Subway so save money on the hotel and spend more of it touring the fabulous city. So the next thing would be to familiarise yourself with the areas that Manhattan is made up of... Read review
