La Quinta Inn & Suites Manhattan
You may be familiar with the La Quinta brand from your road trips across America, but there is also a La Quinta Inn & Suites Manhattan. Rooms feature either a king, one or two queens, or an ADA Accessible king bed. Amenities include 32-inch flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, pillow-top mattresses, and more. Complimentary breakfast is included. The hotel is conveniently located near major attractions like the Empire State Building and Macy’s Department Store, and it’s only a half block away from a subway station.

The Bentley Hotel is located near the Midtown area of New York City, close to Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Fifth Avenue, and more.

You may luck out to find rates as low as $185 or even lower during the slower winter months.
