General Information » Places To Stay » Motels & Rest Houses

Motels are really those roadside stopovers for motorists who need to catch a few hours’ sleep before driving the next leg of a long journey. Therefore, you won’t find any motels within New York City itself - they tend to be off major highways. If you’re planning to make the most of the city, it’s not worth checking into a motel, since you’ll spend too much time commuting. But if you are merely passing through, the Howard Johnson (www.howardjohnson.com) and Holiday Inn Express (www.ichotelsgroup.com) chains are good top-end motels, while Econo Lodges (www.choicehotels.com/ny) may provide more for your money, with rooms starting at around $65 per night.
