Accommodation in New York isn't cheap and your hotel room is likely to be your biggest single expense. If you're on a budget there are several ways you can save money (see finding a cheap hotel), but your best bet is to spend some time shopping around on the Internet and make sure that you make a booking well in advance.

During the high season (Christmas and the summer months) rooms fill up quickly and if you arrive without a reservation; not only will you find yourself out of pocket, but you may find yourself out on the street. If you make a booking over the phone it's always worth asking if there are any special discounts or if the hotel is running any promotions. Leaving your credit card details ensures that you won't be gazumped and loose your hotel room.

If you haven't managed to book any accommodation prior to arrival the New York City Official Visitor Information Center on Seventh Avenue (Tel: 212 484-1222) should be able to provide you with a comprehensive list of the city's hotels.

Hotel reservation agencies are an American phenomenon and a good starting point if you're looking to save money. By block-booking hotel rooms in advance these agencies are able to offer substantially discounted accommodation and they're happy to search for a room in a specific hotel, area or price bracket.

Service in New York is second to none, possibly because many of the jobs in the service industry (including bellhops and cleaning and waiting staff) are traditionally low paid and rely on tips to supplement their income. Government taxes also push up the price of your stay and are currently levied at and additional 13.25% on your check.
