Question: Hi, just wondering if you could recommend a hotel near Macy’s? We’re looking for something cheap and cheerful if possible! Thanks.

Answer: There are lots of hotels near Macy’s Herald Square that fit the bill. One of the most popular hotels with Irish people is the 2 star Hotel Pennsylvania which is located on 33rd Street and 7th Avenue right opposite Penn Station. Although the rooms are basic, the location is very convenient not only for shopping in Macy’s, Chelsea boutiques and Garment District but it is close to Empire State Building, Grand Central, Madison Square Garden and a 10 min stroll to Times Square Theatre district.

A double room in the Pennsylvania Hotel in February 2010 comes in at €69.00 or €34.50 per person including taxes. They also have triple and quad rooms available making it even cheaper per person.

Here are some other hotels that meet the cheap and cheerful criteria:  Comfort Inn Hilton Garden Inn Hampton Inn The New Yorker
