New York City hotel tax is 14.75 percent plus a daily $2 per room occupancy fee. Our site lists the starting low season rack rate for each hotel, but prices rise and fall depending upon the season and demand, like airline tickets; use these rates as guidelines. Prices are lowest in January and February and highest in September and October.

It’s easy to find reviews on our site. If you know the name of the hotel you want, type it into the Keyword Search box and hit GO. If you’re looking for a hotel in a particular neighborhood, want a place that’s hip and allows pets, or crave a spa and free WiFi, check the proper criteria. For a master list of all the hotels we’ve reviewed, click Hotels A to Z. And if you don’t see the hotel you want, check in again. We’re adding new reviews every week.

New York City has more than 200 hotels in its five boroughs, and we’ll review as many as we can to help you choose. We’re independent, with no ties to hotels, booking agencies or travel agents. We pay when we eat and stay (and never mention we’re writing a review). Visit us often; we’re adding and updating reviews all the time.

HOTEL OF THE WEEK

Affinia Dumont: Pedal Power

Did you know May is National Bike Month? (It was news to us, too.) But biking is good (exercise, fresh air, reduced carbon footprint). And getting around New York on two wheels has never been easier. We’ll soon be updating – and expanding – last year’s blog post on the Five Best Hotels for Bike Riders. In the meantime, add the Affiania Hotel group’s two Murray Hill properties – the Shelburne and the Dumont – to the list of hotels rolling out bikes for guests (first come, first served, of course). Offered free of charge, Affinia’s sky blue Republic bikes sport yellow tires and orange seats and come with a helmet, lock, basket and bike route map. For more on Affinia Dumont...READ ON

 

All about Overnight New York

Overnight New York covers everything relating to hotels in New York City, from news, deals, and reviews to the culture swirling around them.

The best hotels are emporiums of experience that entertain from the moment you enter. You can see contemporary art, hear a DJ, play bingo at midnight or take in a Sunday night movie (there’s nothing like a hotel screening room).

Stay for the night, and the best hotels multi-function at a dizzying level. Yes, you want a comfortable room, preferably with some style and a convenient location, all at a price that won’t result in bankruptcy.

But the right hotels present the opportunity to try on a new life. Choose with care, and you can feel like a captain of industry or a rock star, an international socialite or a Downtown habitué, if only for a night.

Overnight New York is completely independent with no ties to the hotels we write about and review. Its creator Terry Trucco is a long-time travel writer whose stories and hotel reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Travel & Leisure and other publications.

We visit hotels anonymously and always pay when we eat and stay (we don't take freebies) so our reporting is honest and unbiased.

Think of Overnight New York as a best friend, who knows the city and susses out the places you’d like to stay -- and the places you want to avoid -- as well as the perfect hotel for a romantic dinner, drinks after work or putting up the in-laws. We've reviewed more than 90 hotels and are constantly adding and updating reviews. Our blog delivers hotel news and posts three, or more, times a week. Leave a comment and join the conversation. And check in often!
