New York is the most populous and developed city in United States of America (USA) and the most important financial, business, culture, culinary, trade and art center in the world. New York houses the most impressive skyline in the world with the infamous skyscrapers on Manhattan Island.
New York is a very popular tourist destination and New York hotels are expensive. Even hostels in New York charges nightly prices starting from 50 USD and a mid-range hotel in New York would charge 250-350 USD per room per night. And luxury New York hotels like Waldorf Astoria and The Plaza would charge thousands of dollars per suite per night.
Although New York hotels are expensive, you will be spoilt for choices. All the chain hotel groups you know (and probably do not know) have a hotel in New York. Manhattan is the most expensive place to stay in New York and any Manhattan hotel below 200 USD per night would be a tiny cell with a bed, TV and a little more. In New York hotel prices range significantly as well as their quality so check the customer reviews of the hotels online before booking one. Some places like the outer regions of West Side High Way and Queens may offer cheap hotels where main customer group are the customers of the sex workers booking “hourly” for the trade.
New York hotel rooms are usually advertised without taxes added. You would need to pay plus 2 USD + 5.8% hotel tax and 1.5 USD extra. So a New York hotel room advertised as 100 USD per night will cost you around 118 USD per night.

- Use online hotel booking sites for the best and cheapest prices as well as discounts.

- The low seasons for New York hotels are January and February especially the days after the New Year; the last 2 weeks of August; 3 days before Thanks Giving and Sunday’s. If the cold and snow does not scare you, hotels in New York are cheapest in January and February.
- Sometimes the airline you use to fly to New York or the travel agent offers “flight + hotel” packages which may provide cheap hotel accommodation in New York.
- Instead of staying in a hotel. you can stay in a B&B or private apartment room advertised on sites like Airbnb starting from 50 USD.
