Hotels/ Beekman or Eastgate Towers

Staying in New York in April for five nights. Got it down to either the Beekman Tower or the Eastgate Tower - both on special deals with Expedia. Which one would anyone recommend? Which one is closest to tourist attractions and the subway? Thanks, Cornishkat.

I%26#39;d opt for the Beekman; we stayed there in December and thought it was great. A bit further afield than the Eastgate, but still quite manageable, and I like its immediate environs. And, the Beekman -- an Art Deco building -- is a more distinctive property with rooms/suites with more gracefully proportioned windows, higher ceilings, less bland decor, etc.. than the boxy ones of the more blah Eastgate which was built in the late 60%26#39;s.





For either one, if your budget permits, spring for one of the suites :-)

Agree with CockleCove. The Eastgate is slightly better location (closer to a subway stop) but the Beekman is a nicer, more distinctive building. In April, I%26#39;d walk the extra few blocks and take the Beekman.





Btw, you should double check the Affinia.com website and also quikbook.com and make sure you can%26#39;t get the same price or better than the Expedia special.
