The Standard, High Line Hotel, New York - NYC
The rooftop bar is a must for the best city skyline views
The William Vale
Luxury hotel with a really homey type of vibe. Gives you the best of both worlds. Also fairly close off of the Bedford L stop. Surrounding neighborhood also has a ton going on. Tbh you don’t even need to trek into Manhattan to have fun.

The Muse Hotel - NYC
A great alternative to the William Vale
Book Our Boutique Hotel in Brooklyn, Williamsburg
Great place if you want some of the best views of NYC. Rooms are pretty standard. A little out of the way from the subway (cross town bus service is nearby).
Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza | Book Direct & Save
Feels more like an Airbnb/staying in someone’s home experience than an actual hotel. Great if you have multiple people in your party and want something a little larger than a standard hotel room
The Box House Hotel
3-3.5 Star Hotels
You need something basic to rest your head, but want a place you can relax for a little that isn’t super bare bones.

EVEN Hotels New York – Midtown East
Basic but clean
Holiday Inn New York City - Wall Street
Feels a bit dated, but it’s comfortable and a solid crash pad
Hampton Inn Manhattan/Downtown-Financial District
No frills, but it’s a solid, clean, and comfortable spot that’s good if you plan to bop between Manhattan and Brooklyn. One subway stop into Manhattan, easy Citi Bike ride into Greenpoint/Williamsburg
Hilton Garden Inn Long Island City New York
This hotel is a little out of the way from the subway (but short Uber to Court Sq, which connects you pretty much anywhere you want to go in the city). Rooms are very clean and modern. Pricing is solid for NYC. And the Queensbrige park is right nearb...
DoubleTree by Hilton Long Island City New York
Fairly convenient location to public transit. One stop away from Manhattan and also super close Subway or Citi bike ride into Brooklyn. Hotel is also clean, quiet, and not priced as high as other parts of NYC.
Hilton Garden Inn Long Island City New York
I personally think this one is much nicer than the one on the UES of Manhattan (hence the bump to 3 star). It’s a super prime neighborhood location. Close to the L/G trains to go around Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
Pod Hotel BK: A Budget-Friendly Williamsburg, Brooklyn Hotel
2-2.5 Star Hotels
You’re on a budget and just need a place to crash for the night that’s clean and safe.
The pod rooms are perfect if you’re a SOLO traveler and just want a crash pad for the night and are okay with sleeping on a twin bed. There’s also communal bathrooms if you stay in a pod room, but they’re clean and well kept. The roof deck is also am...
Affordable Hotel in Midtown Manhattan East | Pod 51
Close walk to the subway and only 1 stop away into Manhattan on the N, W, and 7 trains at Queensboro plaza.
Holiday Inn Express Long Island City E – New York
Feels more on par with a 3 star, but putting it in the 2 star category because that’s how it’s ranked on the web.
Hotel St. James
No frills, but clean and modern. Super close walking distance to the main subway lines and a gateway to pretty much anywhere in the city you need to go.
Book at Chelsea New York City Hotel | Holiday Inn Express NYC
As basic as it gets but the prime CPW location absolutely makes up for it.
Opening Soon AS Laqunita Central Park West
