question on hotels

I am looking at staying somewhere near Times Square. What part of Manhattan is this considered? Any good hotel ideas? I want something around 200 a night. Thanks!

Times Square is what the area is called. It is the most popular tourist area. Depending on dates $200 will get you a basic, budget hotel. Check reviews carefully as $200 is pretty low for that area.

Times Square is overpriced and over touristy. The streets are so densely crowded that it can become oppressive at times. And you pay a premium for the ';privilege'; of staying there.

Are you sure you want Times Square? It%26#39;s pretty easy to get around Manhattan, and there are plenty of better, prettier neighborhoods to stay in.

It%26#39;s also considered part of midtown west. $200 is now becoming the bottom price for any decent hotel room and the Times Square area tends to be more expensive because it%26#39;s so popular. As I recall you%26#39;re a family of 4 and that%26#39;s really not a reasonable price for 4 people in June, esp. in Times Square.

Radio City Apartments is the most popular budget option for families in that area, but it%26#39;s so popular, it%26#39;s very hard to find an opening there.

I suggest you look on kayak.com and see what%26#39;s available for your dates and get a better idea of prices. Doing some searching around, I see the Holiday Inn midtown on west 57th st. for about $230/night. It will also depend on whether your kids can share a double bed. I see some options with 2 double beds, but that might not be big enough for your gang. The Travel Inn is another good budget hotel near Times Square but their double doubles are around $250/night in June (and these prices don%26#39;t include taxes).

You might want to consider staying in an apartment. Nyhabitat.com is a reliable agent and they have some apartments in midtown west but not sure your budget will work for a comfortable space for all 4 of you.
