Manhattan hotel rooms are the smallest and priciest in the United States, and taxes add close to 15% plus a per-night occupancy fee on top of the room rate. Many hotels also charge a 'destination' or 'facility' fee that is collected at the property. Brooklyn and Long Island City deliver noticeably more space for the money with a subway ride of 10–20 minutes, which for most visitors is the better trade.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 384 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
