Free Breakfast & Hidden Resort Fees at New York City Hotels

Many Manhattan hotels advertise a nightly rate and then add a destination, amenity or resort fee at checkout, often charged per room per night. Combined with New York City hotel taxes, those extras can add a meaningful amount to a four-night stay in Midtown Manhattan, so the lowest advertised rate is not always the lowest.

The hotels below belong to chains that have generally included a hot breakfast in the room rate and have avoided resort-style fees. Policies change, so treat this as a starting point: confirm in writing that breakfast is included and that no mandatory fee applies to your hotel room before you pay.
