Hourly Hotel in NYC?

[EastCoastDude1111]

I'm looking to host an encounter in Manhattan somewhere, and the thought was to get a hotel just for the 2 hr evening. But I do not really want to lay out $300 on a room that will be used for like 2-3 hours.

Options I have found is using Hotwire with the mystery 4 star hotel -- when booking 5-7 days out, there are rooms for $100 (so 200 after taxes etc). But with some providers they have trouble booking that far out.

What other resources are there in Manhattan (and I guess surrounding areas) for a room that will only be used 2 hrs, and is cheaper than 200?

Of course, don't want bed bugs LOL. Something reasonable.

I know there are day rate blocks but they don't seem to be much cheaper than 100 (200 with tax).

Anyone have any ideas? Appreciate any tips.

Check out the thread below, and get the DayUse app, you’ll find reasonable rates for 4-6 hours or so.

Thank you! Yes I think this will work. Looks like you can get a room for about 129 min. That's reasonable.

My experience with Dayuse is that the hotels will offer one or more four- or six-hour blocks on the given day, but they're all during the daytime.  I don't think I've seen an offered time period that ends after 6pm, so plan for afternoon (or morning) delight.  To get two or three hours in the evening, I think you'll have to book the room for the night.

There are (or at least were) definitely motels/hotels with rooms available for an hour or two. I have used them twice (albeit over 10 years ago) in situations where neither of us could host- one was in midtown and the other was in the village, and neither was expensive.

There definitely are a whole bunch that offer slots of 6-10pm. Wall Street Inn, Yotel, and a whole bunch in the midtown west and Chelsea area. I use them regularly. May dry up in the busier seasons. Also, watch out for the “resort fee” that some add on, which can really jack up the price.

There is Kew Motor Inn which is hourly.  I've met clients there before, the themed rooms help add to the experience.

I agree....Dayuse is a great resource.

I also use similar apps internationally when I take a red-eye across the Atlantic I often use a day pass to nap for a few hours when I arrive. Especially when I know my final destination hotel room has a 3:00pm check in and it's 10:00 am. Many airport hotels will rent a room for 3 hours.

DayUse is always good.

Thanks for this info.  I am usually looking for daytimes, but the next time I need an evening spot, I'll check out midtown west/Chelsea. 

And good advice for everyone to watch out for the "resort fees" that hotels charge but that aren't quoted with the room price.

They all try and trick you by posting the room (only) cost. There is no way to avoid that.

But....on most travel sites you will see a difference between the room cost and your TOTAL ( which is usually printed in tiny letters so you don't immediately notice they've added $ 75 or more for the resort fee.

Once you start to BOOK the room, check your TOTAL. There is no way for them to add the fee after you've booked. THAT is illegal.  But they DO try to slip it in without you noticing. It's always there somewhere.

Also, check the hotel parking fees if you plan to use it. I've seen some charging $50/day for self-parking and $75/day for valet, and that’s not even in New York!

I have a story about that, slightly off topic.  A provider who I met in NY a few times moved to LA when I was traveling there regularly for work.  The next time I was in LA, I met him at my hotel for an extended session.  I had an amazing time, better even than our NY sessions, which I thought were pretty great.  I paid his rate, gave him a very generous tip and decided I would try to see him two or three times on that trip and on all my future trips to LA.  Ten minutes later I got a call from the hotel bellman saying a guy in the garage was trying to charge his parking to my room.  I told the bellman I didn't know who it was.  I guess the parking was expensive, but only a small fraction of the tip I gave him, and I felt so betrayed by the grift that I never saw him again.  😪

All the day rooms I've looked at or booked have been for slots like 10/11-~3.  After that, they need the rooms back for the later check-ins.

Hmm that’s not true for New York City. I book DayUse rooms in Manhattan for 6-10pm every two weeks for meetups. For today for example, there are 33 hotels in NYC for which you can check in at 7pm.

I found many in SoCal that start 11am-1pm until 7pm or so, kinda perfect for my schedule.

When a provider travels to me, I usually ask if he arrived by his own car, ride share, transit, etc.  If he drove his own car and the hotel charges for parking, when I leave a tip at the end of the session I offer up "You were great.  Here should be enough to cover parking and then some".

In New York City (NYC) most of the men I hired took the subway or walked to me.  One man did ask for me to hire an Uber for him, to which I agreed only because I had seen him before in a different city and knew he was amazing. Although I don't need a hotel for the hour in NYC, I prefer to stay at hotels in Chelsea to make it easy for men to travel to me.

If you need evening/night, sometimes you can get bargains on hotwire.com.  Trick is they will not disclose the hotel until you pay.   You can specify what neighborhood, and how many stars.  In some cases the will show you a pic of the hotel room, or say "the hotel is one of the 4 following hotels:".  Same goes for priceline.  I have scored hotels in NYC as low as $129/night on Hotwire.  Beware resort and other hidden fees....Hotwire will show you the total price (room rate + fees + taxes) in the fine print.  Good luck.
