Plot the places you care about on a map and favour a hotel within a short walk of more than one useful subway line.
Compare the complete stay total rather than the first nightly price. Taxes, destination fees, breakfast and the room category can change the real value.
Start with the exact location, then compare the total stay price, room size and cancellation terms. A famous name is less useful if it adds a long journey to the places you plan to visit.
Book once your dates are firm and the cancellation policy is acceptable. Prices can rise around holidays, major events and the busiest autumn and December weekends.
Some properties charge destination or facility fees. Check taxes, mandatory fees and the exact room conditions before comparing final totals.
Usually, yes. A short walk to several useful lines can save more time than choosing a slightly cheaper hotel with weaker connections.
