I think reasonable has to be a "relative" term when you are talking the Mid-Town Manhattan rates. They are pretty pricey. I am not a local so hopefully you will get more specific advise. Give it a few days, also. WildBill, Butchcee, Chuck T. ?

I like the Marriot Marquis. It is right in Times Square, everything is right there, all the theaters, shopping, and everything else. Revolving restaurant too. It was reasonable as New York goes. Could do alot worse.------------------ BackinBlack

Yeah..... I guess when I said "reasonable" it was mean't to be not the cheapest or dearest option but just need a nice place to sleep as we hope to be out most of the time.

I agree with Tom S. The Marriott Marquis is the place to stay.If you are going to stay over Sunday make sure you go to the Sunday Brunch they serve on the rooftop restaurant that revolves. Its unreal!!! $40 a person but is worth it, I used to go a few times a year when I lived in NY. Have fun!!!!

Thanks guys but the 5 days in March I wanted don't seem to be available in Marquis. Is anyone familiar with a new hotel called Dream Hotel?.....there are so many to choose...

You can go on different web sites and check out rates. AAA will save you a few $$$$. If you want to go to a different bar from most NY bars check out Hogs and Heffers its like the bar in the movie Coyote Ugly! Girls dance on the bars etc. MSG has plenty of sporting events. I would ask WildBill he works there and would be the one in my opinion to recommend stuff. All depends on what you like to do. March will be Cold, especially if its early march! Bring a warm coat.------------------
