Did I just book a hotel in the ghetto?

[New Earth]

I just booked my hotel in NYC - anyone from around there, is this an ok area?

It's Mount Royal Hotel
315 W 95th St, New York, NY 10025

sorry to keep asking this stuff but DU'ers know everything :P


btw, to "whatelseisnew" - thanks for the hostel idea, that's what i'm doing for the Washington D.C. show :)

[sir_captain]

4. wrong side of town

it's on the UWS which at 95th st, is a lot nicer

[Zuni]

6. I'm sorry

for some reason I saw it as E. 95th rather than W. 95th :silly:---been a long day

[sir_captain]

7. It's an easy mistake...

I'm mainly cognizant of it since I live in the neighborhood :-)

[New Earth]

10. uh oh

you're not gonna come stalk me now are you? :hi:

[sir_captain]

11. Heh...no

I've got to get through a very long list of stalkees before I get to you. ;-)

[New Earth]

12. ha that's good. besides.....

i'm the one doing the stalking :P

poor guys.....those guys down there....

3. for future reference

you can often check these matters with tripadvisor.com

[Maddy McCall]

13. Tell me more about tripadvisor.

Sounds like something I need that I've never used. :D

[sir_captain]

5. It's an excellent neighborhood

I should know, since I live in it. But seriously, you have nothing to be concerned about. It's one of the best neighborhoods in the city.

8. Lucky you----I'm jealous.

9. wow guys thanks

i feel much better now. damn cheap for NYC too! only $73 per night! i'll be up there next weekend - for 2 of the VNV shows i have left (already been to 2, 4 or 5 more to go) :blush:

14. My old stompin' grounds! I lived at 92nd & WEA from 77-89.

I'm sure that particular hotel has gentrified into something quite acceptable...or maybe not. Unless I'm mistaken, it should be between either B'way and West End or West End and Riverside Drive. Your only major problem is that the Henry Hudson Pkwy exits onto 95th heading East.
