<icontent>     We are coming from the UK to spend the last weekend in May in NYC. I&#39;ve been 3 times before with my husband but never with just the girls. Can anyone recommend a cheap, nice hotel in a good/safe neighbourhood? We would like to be able to shop all day but then wander from our hotel in the evening and enjoy some beers in local/relaxed bars (not trendy/glitzy ones!) and some good, simple food.   </icontent>

<rcontent>     Hi    Need to know many people to start off with. Cheap no hotels in new York City are cheap. We usally suggest booking something you can cancel, and when the time gets closer look for specials on Travel zoo or hotwire. It also depends on how many beds you need.Quikbook popular, choice    Here are a few suggestions.    I had a girls weekend and I stayed at the Hudson hotel and enjoyed it. People either love or hate this, place but I loved the neighborhood. That hotel group also own Morgans hotel, I believe. I did win the Hudson on Priceline other wise not so cheap.    I also considered the Park South hotel small cute place reasonable with breakfast, nice area to walk around neighborhood feeling. A usual reasonable hotel. I also considered The Roosevelt hotel. I found all these hotels due to specials, on travel zoo,with breakfast, as well. The buckingham and the wolcott are some other reasonable ones.    The Affina group of hotels always good.Murray hill east suites. A nice B&amp;B is 1871 house as well, with apt style accomidations.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     I agree that how many you are and how many to a room should be the first consideration. If there are a lot of you and you want to all fit in one suite, that will affect your hotel options. Also, what do you consider cheap?    Virtually any area you chose will be good/safe and have local bars and restaurants. I&#39;d consider:    The upper west side (hotels like milburnhotel.com , beaconhotel.com , Ontheave-ny.com . jacksband.com )    Murray Hill (hotels like Murray Hill East Suites, Eastgate Tower, Affinia Dumont )    Chelsea (hotels like Four Points Sheraton Chelsea, Hampton Inn Chelsea, Comfort Inn Chelsea)    Greenwich Village (wshotel.bom , west-eleventh.com )   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     hi we stayed in holiday inn w57th street last year and found it very good. rooms were basic but very clean and 4 were easily accomodated.We had a short walk to central park and could also walk to 42nd street and most of the tourist sites, actually we walked everywhere as the weather was so good and it was handy to be able to dump the shopping bags in the hotel and head out again.It has a pool on the roof which was unusual and had great view. At night we just walked up the street to bars for dinner or pizzeria, felt very safe walking in this area at any time.we&#39;re going back in oct so guess that&#39;s a recommendation in itself!    </rcontent>

<rcontent>     hi should say some of our party found the bar quite expensive as they were drinking spirits but we found bottled beers were not expensive, there are plenty of places locally to drink anyway that aren&#39;t expensive   </rcontent>
