Fitzpatrick Grand Central

Has anybody stayed here? Looking to book here for a 3 night pre cruise before a Jan 2 sailing on the gem.

I haven't seen any posts on this forum about the Fitzpatrick Hotel. I'd research it on Trip Advisor and ask questions there.

TripAdvisor has some good reviews for this hotel. Be aware it is in a very busy location in NYC.

I stayed there many years ago and it was pretty good. Right next to Grand Central, which makes things easy if you're coming in on Metro-North. (Why would you come in on Metro-North? Well, if you're coming in from New England, cheap parking at an outlying station like West Haven would do it.)

Flying in to JFK. Just looking for something nice. Walking distance to broadway, Rockefeller center, Times Square, ect. From Oregon never been to NewYork.

Do you mean you are going to be in NYC New Years Eve?

Yep, cruise leaves Manhattan terminal Jan. 2nd. Thought we would catch the red eye the night of Dec.29th. Portland Oregon to JFK for only $250. That’s 3 nights in Manhattan before an 18 night Panama Canal on the Gem. Girlfriend wants to see a broadway play and ice skate at Rockefeller center

Ok so if you’re happy with the price of the Fitzpatrick Grand Central book it. It’s far enough from the madness of Times Square that you can avoid the madness on New Years Eve.

When it gets closer, reserve a time for the ice skating it’s very popular. Your hotel will be very close to Bryant Park which is set up with a European style Christmas market with a tree and ice skating rink. Very pretty at night. If you have your heart set on a specific show it’s better to purchase now than wait. Make sure you go to the official show website. There are many websites that are third party sellers which add on ridiculous fees.
