Where to stay in New York City
It is a massive place with so many different areas so deciding where to stay in New York city can be a bit overwhelming. If you want to be in the heart of the action, the shopping, the theatre, the main attractions then stay in Manhattan. It is central, it is busy and for travelling around it is the best location especially if you on one of those short breaks to New York.
Some parts of the city are not ideal so while you might be after a cheap deal to NYC it is pretty important to choose a good quality hotel.

The Yotel, New York at Times Square is in the midtown area of the city with fabulous views of the iconic buildings and the stunning sunsets. Although, the name suggests that it is on Times Square, it is not. However it is only a couple of blocks away and is within walking distance of the shops, the theatres and the nightlife. When it opened in 2011, it aimed to provide guests with affordable luxury. As such the rooms aren't huge but they are comfortable and the muffins and coffee for breakfast are definitely a bonus.
