Where to Stay in New York
There is no denying it – the Big Apple is an expensive place to stay and never more so than when the ING New York City Marathon is in town. However, there are still bargains to be found.
New York City has around 70,000 rooms in varied accommodations including chain hotels, stylish luxury penthouses, B&Bs and furnished apartments – to fit any budget and taste. The densest hotel concentration is mid-town Manhattan, in the Theatre District. One good budget option, if you don’t mind dormitory accommodation and shared facilities, could be a hostel. New York offers some of the finest hostels, which are often excellent value and great friendly accommodation.
One of the best bits of advice, which cannot be overstressed, is to book early. As soon as you have your marathon place confirmed, you need to get on the case and get yourself a booking, as everywhere will fill up quickly. The ING New York City Marathon not only attracts runners, but also their families, friends and other spectators. The good news is, when the ING New York City Marathon comes to town – the atmosphere is buzzing, so wherever you opt to stay, you won’t be too far away from something interesting going on.
