nyc: This will be our first family trip to NYC. We want to do tourist stuff like tour buses, statue of liberty, time square etc. Really don't want to pay a lot for lodging but do not want to stay in a roach motel either (lol)! People say to stay in New Jersey. Not sure where or what's best. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!|||It depends what you mean by "inexpensive". For example, in Staten Island, there are some nice hotels that are an hour from Manhattan and cost around $115 per night. There is a Holiday Inn and a couple of other hotels there. There is also a hotel called "La Quinta Inn" in Gowanus, Brooklyn that is closer to Manhattan, but the area isn't as nice as other areas (I don't know what the hotel itself is like) New Jersey isn't bad either, but again, it all depends on what you determine to be "inexpensive". I hope this information was very helpful.|||I'd recommend staying in Queens. It's as close as 15-20 minutes by subway and is still part of NYC. If you find something cheap in Manhattan it will almost certainly be less than desirable or riddled with bedbugs. You truly get what you pay for, so be careful.
