Saw this headline fly by on Twitter yesterday morning:
"Afternoon sex, affairs can be part of life on the road." Naturally, I clicked on the link to
the USA Today article... about a new
ish website called Dayuse-hotels.com that lets people book "boutique" hotel rooms in New York City for a few hours of afternoon
romance. Or rest. Or Internet. Or
whatever you'd need a hotel room for from, say, noon till 4 p.m.
Anyway, I went to the
Dayuse site to see if any local hotels were in their database.
There are two – the Blue Moon on Orchard and Off Soho Suites on Rivington...
Randomly picked Feb. 19 to see the rates...
It's $275 for three hours at the Blue Moon...
..or $119 for five hours at the Off Soho Suites...
If this is too much, then you could always opt for the Days Inn at JFK — just $79 for six hours.

Does St.marks hotel not have the 2hours for $50 special anymore? I haven't needed the hotel for about 6 years now but was just curious if anyone knew?
Is the Magic Fingers included, or should I bring a pile of quarters?
I used to book day rooms all the time back in the day, it's a necessity for touring bands. Never found a hotel that wouldn't do it, it's a cheap gap-fill for them. The only reason some say no publicly is to avoid legal b.s.
These are boutique hotels ?
There is always the Lincoln Motor Inn on 14th and 10th/11th Ave. Its like $60 for 2 hours and $75 for 3 hours. I hope it still is....
St Marks hotel still has hourly rates
; )
The classic short stay rate place in the metro NY area was once the York motel at the intersection of Route 3 and the NJ turnpike on the way to the helix of the Lincoln tunnel (495). The large motel sign said "Love Thy Neighbor....Here".
@Maya Diaz - do you mean the Liberty Inn? They've got a special going:
2 hours $70
3 hours $80
Romantic Interlude Rooms add $15 for 2-3 hours stay
St. Marks Hotel is always good for the "short stay". I oughta know - hired it out as such several times, once upon a time. Funny enough, I stayed there "legitimately" as well, when I first moved to NYC - the second floor is all hourly, the upper floors nightly. I'm sure they're still doing this, and always will...
