I stayed at the Hyatt at Grand central station in Nov. My sister was in NYC for work and she kindly shared her room with me so I don't know how much it was, but you don't mention what your budget is either.
When I got in at Penn I had the option to walk 10 minutes to the line that Grand Central is on, or take 2 trains to get there -- this was almost about 10 minutes. The hotel squats atop Grand Central, but our room on the 15th or 16th floor was very quiet. If I could afford it, I would stay there again. During the night, I went downstairs to photograph Grand Central. I was not bothered by staff about my camera, but they ripped me a new one for using my tripod. Fine, you can drive a car through the middle of the station but I can't use my tripod.... :P --skye On 12/26/06, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The wife and I are planning a weekend getaway to NYC sometime within > the next couple months.
