While you'll be in the city that never sleeps, you'll eventually need to snooze, and you'll want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible when you do. You can go the traditional route and pick a hotel that suits your needs, or you can look online for an Airbnb as you visit the incredible New York City and take in its rich history and iconic destinations, Many travelers are now opting for home-sharing arrangements such as Airbnb instead of a hotel. An Airbnb room costs considerably less than a hotel room but it means you're staying in somebody else's apartment.
Here is the comparison:
Perks of choosing a Hotel in New York City
1. Security
There's a certain level of security that comes with booking a hotel because from the time you check in, you'll know exactly what to expect, the level of service provided, and the amenities available. Luxe options are from the fabulous, iconic Plaza or St. Regis to the Crosby Street Hotel and The High Line. The standardized services found in hotels can be appealing to business travelers and others who look for predictability.
2. Safety
In an Airbnb, there's always the lurking anxiety leading up to the trip that the host could cancel at the last minute, or that the property isn't as advertised. You can trust that the hotel will provide you with the safety and security you need while you're in town for some sightseeing in New York.
3. Flexibility
Most Airbnb hosts require a minimum stay of two or three nights and check-in times might be inconvenient for late arrivals, unlike at a typical hotel.
4. Size of New York City
A hotel in Manhattan might well be your best bet to avoid long subway schleps or exorbitant cab or Uber tabs.
Perks of Choosing an Airbnb in New York City
1. Cheaper
You will not be spending much time in a hotel or your room, so it's better to get a decent AirBnB, and use the money you save to explore New York City since New York City is all about walking and exploration. You will probably be spending the whole day seeing all NYC has to offer then return later in the afternoon or before dinner to get ready... and then it is off to explore, once again. NYC dining, shopping, and entertainment can get expensive, so it's better to save up and spend your money on those.
2. Variety
You can choose from a wide variety of lodging styles in an Airbnb. You can find anything from a home or an apartment to a trailer, bungalow, cabin, or multi-level condo.
3. Own space
Having your own space provides you with a lot more freedom to relax and cater to yourself. Airbnb renters are often invited to use the kitchen, which could come stocked with breakfast goodies with free WiFi.
Hotels and Airbnb are both good selections. Choose which suits your needs.
