Paul Martin Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Hello All, Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, pleasant hotel near to the Met. Or have any other tips for that. Also, what is the New York Sword Society's schedule. Best Quote
Grey Doffin Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Paul, I stayed at the Ramada, Long Island City, just across the river from Manhattan. 3 1/2 blocks from the subway, $110 a night on hotels.com. Nice place and a good price considering it's NYC. There are deals to be had in New Jersey also but most anything I looked at on Manhattan was pricey. Take a flashlight to the show and if you can, plan to visit twice. The first visit will be overwhelming; the 2nd will be more valuable. If possible, get and read the catalog before attending.

Paul Martin Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks Grey, Sounds good. Quote
b.hennick Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 I stayed in Newark and took the train and subway. It was $59 per night for a 3.5 star Hilton airport hotel. The train added another $25 with all the time things took staying near to Manhattan as Grey suggested seems better. BTW I booked with hotwire.com Quote
aeguy Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Most reasonable hotel accommodation I could find for my wife and I in Manhattan proper anywhere near the Met was at the Upper East Courtyard Marriott at $191.00 (plus $31.67 tax) per night for one (1) Friday night stay (this is a special weekend rate available online). We take a taxi to/from the airport. Certainly not inexpensive, but within reasonable & pleasant walking distance of the Metropolitan Museum and all the attractions inbetween (i.e. the Guggenheim, Cooper-Hewitt, Central Park, restaurants, shops, boutiques, etc.). She's happy and I get to ogle top-of-the-line Nihonto to my heart's content without having to foot the bill for a full blown trip to Nihon to see these treasures! :D Quote
Darcy Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 A good booking site for New York is http://www.quikbook.com I have regularly gotten deals there I could not find on any other site. Quote
b.hennick Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 I just wanted to make sure that people know that the show at the Met ends Jan. 10 2010. It appears that there is an error (two actually) in the JSSUS Newsletter Quote
Stephen Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Good link Darcy doing a search few hotels under 200 a night, save on cabs/subways. Even see hostel for around 70$ for a low budget like mine. http://hotels.thenewyorkguide.com/index.jsp edit well that link does not show what i was looking at. part of the page.
