The subject line says it all....

Anyway - I am going to NYC on mission. Two nights. No DH, no DKs. A favorite artist of mine is playing there sometime in August with his old band.

I want to stay at the best place in Times Square. Or, I may just stay at the Crowne Plaza because some people I know will stay there.) And I probably can't really afford the BEST place.. so what's the second best place?

Any ideas, suggestions??

Thanks!

I've stayed at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square before, its lovely and they usually have deals in the summertime.
 
I highly recommend the Rennissance Hotel on Seventh Avenue. The rooms are awesome. The bathrooms are the best of any hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff is fantastic.

I've also stayed at the Marriott Marquis. It's a very nice hotel. It's very big.

The Doubletree Guest Suites is also nice. It's a two room suite with two TVs and a fridge. It's nice to have the living room area if you want to entertain.

I have stayed at the Hilton Times Square and really liked it - It is right on 42nd street. My husband and I have stayed there twice and the rooms are very spacious.

Just putting my two cents in!

We stayed in the Crowne Plaza in February and it was very nice.
 
Another vote for the Marquis - although I hear the new Hilton Times Square is great too!
 
Thanks everyone! I'm finding very good prices too - looks like a good time for travel.

Maybe you should take a DIS friend with you ;)
 
Marriott Marquis! Don't forget to eat at Carmine's. It's the best!
 
The Marriott Marquis is very nice. I am staying at the Rihga (Marriott) on Fri. which is supposed to be even nicer, I'll let you know if you want.
 
We have stayed in almost every hotel mentioned here so far. For us, where we stay each trip is usually determined by the best rate we can get and/or the # in our party. I use this online reservation group and they have not failed me yet to get me better rates than I could get on my own:

Carmines - read this thread again and booked Carmines for the 28th when we are taking DD and some freidns to see Aida!
 
OK I am back from my overnight at the Rihga. The room was fantastic!!! It is a suite hotel, so obviously that was the room type. I'll try to give a description.
When you enter the room you are standing in a vestibule (sp?) that has the honor bar with a nice marble counter top. Then you enter a large living room area (or maybe they call it a parlor). It had a sofa, two sitting chairs, an armore with a TV, a fax machine and a stereo/CD player in it. This area also had a nice size table (marble top) with two chairs. It was a roomy area, not at all crowded even with all the furniture. Off of this area is the bedroom, which is separated by french doors. This is another nice size room with a TV as well and a bench at the foot of the bed . There is a small area off of the bedroom (no door) that has a closet and a dresser. There is a safe, an iron and ironing board, a clothing steamer, extra blankets and pillows in the closet. The bathroom is very big, with a seprate shower and bath tub. The water pressure was great, so was the shower head. The sink had a good amount of counter space. On the counter was a box with Q-tips and cotton balls, a blow dryer, a tray with a sewing kit (a nice one if I do say so myself), shoe mit, shower cap, and soap one was french milled and a glycerine one that had a nice orange scent to it. They also had Aveda shampoo and conditioner, as well as Aveda shower gel and lotion.
The best thing about the bathroom was the toilet!!!!! You sit down on a nice warm seat. It is also a bidet (I know I spelled that wrong LOL!), so with a touch of a button you can well you know.......... oh there is a phone in the bathroom too.
We were on the 38th floor and had a parkview room. Don't get all excited about the word parkview. It is more like a if you look between the buildings you can see some trees in the park, lol.
All in all I enjoyed this room, I can't comment on the restaurants there because we ate somewhere else.
I hope this provides you with the info you're looking for.
