Other Hotel Options
The Travel Inn
The Travel Inn is also located just one block away from the wedding venue. They would not offer us a block or discount, but they may be the right choice for some travelers, especially those driving or with kids who might enjoy some poolside fun.
Rooms run about $200 + tax.
The hotel also offers an outdoor pool with lifeguard and parking, which is $20/night. For anyone driving, this is equal to about $35-$45/day for a parking garage and that balances the difference between the room charge here and the cost of the Yotel.
The Out Hotel
The Out Hotel is also just one block away from the wedding venue. They are very gay friendly, as the name suggests. They have a page for special deals. When you do a search for a room, the enticingly low price of $120/night may appear. WARNING: That is a per bed price for a shared room. You are literally getting one of four bunks. Now, if you have four people, none of whom wish to share a bed, and you each want your own bunk for $120 in a shared room, this could be ideal. But if you have only two people, not only will you not sleep in the same bed, but the hotel may put two strangers in the other two bunks. It's a fairly elegant hotel, but this is a little social experiment that you may or may not want to engage in. Just thought you should know.
Ink48
Some guests may be fans of the Kimpton line of hotels. Ink48 is located on West 48th Street and 11th ave, a 5-10 minute walk (or $5 taxi) to the venue, located on west 42nd between 11th Ave. and 12th Ave. Room prices range from $250-$350 or more. Some stunning views of the city. No pool. This is probably the most quiet and elegant of the hotel options.
