New York Hotel

The process of finding a New York hotel seems to me to be fairly daunting, considering all the decisions to make in terms of location, degree of luxury, and length of stay. The most exciting and sumptuous New York hotel I have ever stayed in was the Marriot Marquee in Times Square. Perched on the 22nd floor, my four girlfriends and I could look right out onto the blinking billboards and hear the din of the bustling sidewalks. Since the room was a gift from my friend's mother for the weekend, the daunting decisions were never a problem--how could I pass up a free New York hotel room in the heart of this motley and mystifying city?
