Northeast - Bike friendly NYC hotels?

I'm going to be in NYC over spring break but am having trouble finding bike friendly places to stay. On the two previous trips we stayed at the Cosmo Hotel (W. Broadway & Chambers in Tribeca) but they are apparently changing their rules about putting bikes in the storage closet which is what we have done before, and they don't want bikes in the room (not that we could move around them in the hallway anyways). I had reservations made for the Continental Hostel on the Upper West Side, but got confirmation that they also do not have bike storage, contrary to the website and someone I spoke with over the phone. We are trying to also find somewhere that's reasonably priced, at least by NYC standards.

We had been looking at the Super 8 near 14th & Broadway in Long Island City, Queens, but weren't sure how the area was. It seemed to be kind of in a mix of decent areas, old industrial areas being gentrified and close to the Queensbridge projects. I'm not as worried about personal safety, but rather our vehicle. Would this be an ok area to stay in and have our vehicle parked for a week? They said there is a camera in the lot and so on...

If that doesn't sound like a good idea, any other recommendations on places to stay where our bikes are welcome as well (in our rooms or in storage closet)? I don't mind staying in the outer boroughs, I just don't want to be way out by JFK or anything like that.

Thanks!

Transportation Alternatives has a list of NYC Garages with Bicycle Parking (http://www.transalt.org/info/garages.html) on their website. If they can't point you towards a bike friendly hotel maybe you'll be able to find some nearby bike parking.

I stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania when I was up there. They let us bring our bikes up to the room. We could have checked them if we wanted. The only "rule" the guy gave us was to not ride them in the building.

This place is kind of a dive, but it's a neat building and it's in a good location.

I didn't want to create a new thread since this one serves a good purpose still. It's dated so I wanted to ask the question again. Does anybody know of hotels that will let you bring your bike up to the room or at least keep in a storage section in the hotel? I'd prefer one that allows you to bring it up the room so there is no waiting around for somebody to let you into the storage room (or however that works).

I was at the Hotel Pennsylvania again this summer, and I saw someone else bringing a bike into their room. Presumably it is still allowed there. I didn't try it myself though, I took the bus.

I know the hotel New Yorker accepts bicycles as I met my in-laws in October and rode into the city on my bicycle. When I got to the hotel entrance, I explained I wanted to visit my in-laws. They checked the hotel register and allowed me to bring my bicycle on the elevator. Very bicyle friendly, beautiful rooms located in midtown Manhattan.

Thanks guys. I will keep those two in mind. I will call ahead of time just to make sure nothing as changed but that's good news. If anybody knows of other hotels please list them. Thanks!
