Where to stay in NYC

Me and my friend will be coming to NYC for the end of October.

The more resonable hotels are fully booked. Does anyone have any ideas of where to stay.

We can come by Bus or drive in ( in which case we will need parking).

If we stay in NJ where can you suggest, so that we can still see a late show and return by public transportation.

How many day%26#39;s are you coming for what are your dates?

I would take the bus in if you stay in manhattan. If you drive you can take the car and stay in new jersey ,

But then I would take my car and drive to the city. then you can stay in fort lee or paramus.

In jersey if you use public transportation I would suggest being near the path train. The holland motor in is basic and reasonable nothing special but good reviews.

The end of Oct. is very expensive and leads up to Nov 4 which is the NYC Marathon.

If you want to drive, the Travel Inn is the only hotel in Manhattan that has free parking and they do have rooms for the last days of Oct. but they range in price from $225-300/night depending on the nights you need.

If you find you just can%26#39;t afford a NYC room, options in New Jersey that I think make some sense

%26gt;In Jersey City, the Hyatt Regency and the Doubletree Club are right near the PATH train into Manhattan (like a subway). These are also 3* Priceline hotels listed in the NYC area airport section of Priceline and are regularly won for under $100/night. I don%26#39;t think either has free parking so check that.

%26gt;The Sheraton on the Hudson in Weekhawken, NJ is directly across from midtown Manhattan. M-F there%26#39;s a ferry right outside the door of the hotel($5/person per ride though, so $10/person for roundtrip). On weekends, you must take a shuttle bus from the hotel down the street to another ferry stop. There are also buses that run along Boulevard East into Port Authority bus terminal, but commuting by bus from New Jersey you are subject to traffic jams. This hotel is only good if the savings from NYC prices are big (not always the case) and there aren%26#39;t too many of you so daily ferry prices aren%26#39;t too bad.

%26gt;the Holiday Inn in Fort Lee, NJ also known as the George Washington Bridge location is evidently very inexpensive and very close to the bridge. BUT, staying here you should plan on driving your car into Manhattan over the bridge and parking for the day maybe on the upper west side. There is bus service to/from the hotel but you have to cross a very busy highway getting back that sounds dangerous. This hotel is not really near anything but the GWBridge and is for people who want no amenities near their hotel.

besides NJ, you might want to look into hotels in downtown White Plains, NY which has convenient Metro-North Railroad service into Grand Central Terminal.
