Hotel/Apartment suitable for 1yr old

Myself and Hubby are travelling to NYC in mid August with our then 1 year old. We are thinking of a 1 bedroom apartment or a hotel suite. Any suggestions? Area is not really important to us. Would appreciate any suggestions, - Thanks for your help

This is a really common question and a lot will depend on your budget and where you want to be located. The Salisbury is a nice reasonably priced choice 2 blocks from Central Park but also a short walk to Times Square and in midtown.



nycsalisbury.com



They have some regular rooms, some studio suites (one big room) and some 1 and 2 bedroom suites.





The Blakely is a nicer hotel in similar location (a bit closer to TS and a bit further from Central Park). Again, some 1 bedrooms and some regular rooms.





The Beacon and the Milburn are on the upper westside, a more residential area but still not far from the park. These hotels are also family friendly (and also have different sized rooms so be careful you pick a 1 bedroom is that%26#39;s what you want).





The Affinia group (affinia.com) are all suites.





Double check prices on quikbook.com to make sure you can%26#39;t find the same hotel cheaper. ;)

Hi,



Thanks for the adivse.





These are some of the deals(all for 7 nights and in Euros)



Affinia Dumont - Junior Suite - 1550



The Blakely - Suite - 1819



Kimberly Hotel - 1900



Best Western Hospitality House - 1714





Are these good deals?





Budget wise I would pick the Affinia Dumont, but are they other hotels of better quality (Clean, etc) and more baby friendly.



Location wise is the affinia dumont better. Or is there any other hotels for this budget that would be better.



Having taught about it we want somewhere within walking distance to Central Park (For babies sake)





Thanks again!




A junior suite generally means 1 big room. As I think I might have mentioned, it sometimes much nicer/better to have a separate bedroom and sitting room with a child that young for naps. Apart from the junior suite, you don%26#39;t specify what the other room/suite sizes are. These prices look ok, esp. if they include taxes. I%26#39;d compare them to prices on quikbook.com , one of my favorite websites here (will be in US dollars without tax) as a comparison.





Any suite hotel will be baby friendly. The Affinia Dumont is the furthest away from Central Park of this group. The Blakely is probably the closest and imo the best overall location since it%26#39;s also about 10 blocks north of Times Square and not far from Fifth ave. I%26#39;d just doublecheck on sizes since you may be comparing apples and oranges. The Blakely has regular (non suite) rooms and studio suites and 1 bedroom suites.





The Salisbury is another suite hotel that%26#39;s very close to Central Park. Well liked with large rooms but not as nice as these. That price for the Kimberly sounds too high relative to the others but it may have to do with the size of the room.
