Many thanks to all of those who responded to my request for NYC hotels. There were a lot of good suggestions that I will use for future trips. I just so happened that the U.S. Open was that weekend and every place I called was booked up. I ended up staying at a nice Holiday Inn in Carteret (about 20 minutes or so outside of the Big Apple). I was very satisfied (although a nice hotel on Broadway to go to after Les Mis would've been nice, too). For an inside room with 2 queen beds (with an entertainment member discount) I only paid $54! I'll take it! Thanks again, John Nolan [log in to unmask]
