What are the cheapest hotels in New York City?

Q. I have stayed in Bryant Park Hotel, but the period in which I want to travel (next April) is way too expensive ($4500) for a week. What and where are the chepeast yet nicest (above 3 stars) hotels in New York City? I would like to be close to Times Square, around 40th Street. However am open to ideas. Travelling middle of April. Thanks.

A. As you've already pointed out, prices can change dramatically during different times of the year, so the only way to really get an accurate quote is to do a search on a website. You can get quotes and compare rates with all the hotels in NYC here: http://www.nycvacationstays.com/hotels.htm Just filter the results by star rating, landmarks and price after you enter your dates & number of guests. Good luck!

How do I get to the Park South Hotel from LGA using public transportation?
Q. Getting to LGA tomorrow night around 7pm. Need to get to Park South Hotel using Public Transportation. I understand I'll need to take the bus to get to the subway but to be perfectly honest, all the A,B,C's and 4,5,6's are completely confusing me. Thanks!

A. Park South Hotel is located on 28th St between Park Av South & Lexington Av.
If you plan to use Bus/Subway, buy MetroCard at Hudson NewsStand.
Central Terminal has MetroCard Vending Machine, however it is only for Credit Card/Debit/ATM Card uses only.
Buy $4.50 MetroCard.

Here are stops for following buses once buses enter LaGuardia Airport

What would be a good hotel in Yosemite for 20-30 wedding guests?
Q. I'm thinking about getting married in Yosemite but after looking at park hotel photos I'm not sure which one would be the best. The Yosemite Falls Lodge seems to be more reasonably priced. Any other recommendations or reviews from people who have stayed at a Yosemite hotel? Thanks!

A. Yosemite Falls Lodge is not where I'd have my wedding guests stay. It is older, run-down, and not esthetically pleasing. The Ahwahnee is by far the best, but very expensive! If you don't mind traveling 30 miles from Yosemite valley to the south end of the park, Tenaya Lodge is a beautiful place to stay and more reasonably priced than The Ahwahnee. We've stayed there and thought it was great. It was clean, had a lovely setting, and served a great breakfast buffet.
