Eastgate Towers at 222 E 39th. It's about six blocks from Penn Station and eight from Grand Central. I walked to both with a roller bag and a back pack, admittedly a bit sweaty but a nice stroll.My DW, brother, his wife and I are going to New York City for Labor Day and we need some help finding a decent and not too expensive hotel ($200 a night or less) room in Manhattan. I would greatly appreciate any help.
If you don't mind a very short ride on the PATH, try this place: Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson
It is a nice hotel that is right across the water from lower manhattan. Maybe a 10 min train ride to the city, and likely to be a LOT cheaper than NYC hotels.
