It's looking like I'm going to be in NYC again from April 24th to the 30th. I was going to stay at the same hotel I did last time, but it appears that The Library is already booked. Anyone have good recommendations for hotels? Kinda near the theatre disctrict is good. In the ballpark of $200/night.

I know my grandparents like the Blakely, though it's gone a bit downhill since it changed ownership.

Damn, must be a bad week to come to NYC, the Blakely is booked too. And running upwards of $300/night for a few of the nights it is available.

Hm...the only other hotel I know of at all is the Brooklyn Marriott, which is within walking distance of my apartment and in your price range, but probably not the most convenient location for you. (It's only 2 stops into Manhattan, but 20-40 minutes to midtown.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I stayed at the Westin at Times Square last time I was in NY. I was nice enough, nothing special, good location, I think around $200/night, but we had a weddingblock so I'm not sure what the normal pricing is.

It seems like all the likely places are sitting at around $250-$275 all through midweek that week. I'm just running budget numbers for my trip and last time I was able to do rooms at close to $200 but it looks like this time they'll have to pony up for more.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The one time I stayed at a midtown hotel, I stayed at the Paramount. The decor was great -- Gary Panter designed the kids common room! Doing a quick check online, room are also $250-$275.

Looks like rates are just high that week. I sent the quote off saying that my lodging will be running $275 a night for the trip. Once the final green light is given then I'll see what I can do. I'm going to call The Library Hotel again once I'm ready to book and see if there's any chance of a room again.

Try "Dream"? It's on...57th or so, between 7th and 8th, I think? I got it for about $190, last time I went, and it was super nice.
