NYC

[tek_cat]

Моя подруга из России, опять приезжает в штаты, договариваемся встретиться в НЙ. 21-го по 26-е мая. Примерно в эти рамки. Хочу видеть всех в один из дней:). И опять стоит вопрос отеля. Где остановиться и будут ли там тараканы?:)

What is your budget?

[tek_cat]

$200, but not sure it's realistic. She is proposing the YMCA hostel. Is it really bad?

[pro_sha]

No idea
I am turning 40 next week so I am definitely out of the hostel stage :)

[tek_cat]

Too funny:)). I have never stayed. I don't want to, but she is on a budget and wont go above $100.

I guess if you are ready to stay at a hostel, I would just get something on priceline. You can say you want to pay $150 for example and choose a decent area of Manhattan. You should be able to get something IMO for that price.

And I would definitely prefer to share one bed with a friend in a good hotel than to stay at a hostel :)

[tek_cat]

I don't know what a descent area in Manhattan is.

[pro_sha]

Time to do some research :)

Actually Manhattan is broken down into many many parts on priceline. You could do Times Square or Midtown West or Central Park South or Upper East side for example

Pretty much anything near Central Park is decent :)

I don't think its bad. I heard good things about the one near the park.
I know YOTEL - but I think its above $200/night.
Midtown has many hotels - and makes things easier (although it is the craziest part of the city)

You don't want to be in a hostel if you are older than, say, 25 :) Look at priceline and hotwire.com, I'm sure you'll find something acceptable that will fit your budgets if you share. Booking.com is also useful.
