Manhattan is relatively small --approximately 2.8 miles wide and 12 miles long-- and most of the action is concentrated within walking distance of Apple Core Hotels. Most New Yorkers thus prefer to get around on foot, especially during rush hour and lunch time, but public transportation throughout Manhattan is fast, convenient and safe.
Our Manhattan locations are easily accessible by car,
subway, bus
or taxi/car service.
If you need parking space for your car during your
stay, our hotels are conveniently located near parking
garages.

Taxi and Car Service
Cabs are available relatively easily on the Manhattan streets. You can hail a cab by raising your arm. Available cabs have their number light on the roof lit up (not the off duty light though). Yellow cabs are preferred and it is usually a good idea to not accept transportation at the airports from unlicensed companies.
For Yellow Cabs, the Metered Rate of Fare is $2.50 upon entry, $.40 for each additional unit (1/5th of a mile), $.20 per minute of waiting time. Night surcharge is $.50 after 8:00 PM & before 6:00 AM. Peak hour Weekday Surcharge of $1.00 Monday - Friday after 4:00 PM & before 8:00 PM
The taxi ride to/from LaGuardia Airport ranges from $19 onwards (tolls and tips are usually added on to the final fare). The flat fare to JFK Airport is $45.00 plus any tolls. Note that the meter should not be turned on and the night surcharge is not be added. You will need to tip the cab driver (normally 10% of the fare).
For more detailed information on cab fares and your rights please refer to the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission.
Car services are also available to and from the airport or within the city. Car services are usually more expensive than cabs. If you would like, you could even take a limousine ride.
