Headed to NYC in October with wife and 10 yr old daughter. I’ve looked through the thread and noted several recommendations, but Any current recommendations for a hotel that you’ve stayed at and liked? Or, is there a neighborhood/area you recommend? Our main criteria are safe/clean/quiet, close to a subway stop, and budget in $500-600 (#surlypoor). It may be that I just pick a chain and a good location, but I’d love to hear from you all.
Last year we ended up in Times Square, not because #tourist but just got a good deal. It was fine, but it was a minor beating to wade through a crowd every time we left the hotel, especially with a kid. Hoping to end up somewhere central-ish but maybe a bit quieter.
funny side note: we get out of the car in the grocery store parking lot the other day, and my kid says, “It smells like New York!” I look around, and someone nearby is spending their lunch break lighting up. She nailed it
