New York City Hotels

In a typical trip to New York City, accommodations almost always make up the biggest expense. Space is notoriously at a premium in Manhattan—rooms are small, rents are high, and plumbing, cleanliness, and amenities might not match your expectations given what you’re paying. Bare-bones hotel singles in New York City start around $80-120 per night, doubles around $100-140. In the cheapest hotels, you’ll typically share a hall bathroom. Of course, the sky’s the limit in this city when it comes to luxuries and prices. Often, though, it’s best to settle on a relatively low-end room, and spend your money elsewhere.
