17–20 single rooms · private bath · private workroom · central New York
Every hotel and Airbnb on the sheet was priced for these exact dates, checked for meeting space, transit and group-sales contacts, then scored against the brief. The short version is below; the full ranking, contacts and caveats follow.
The Airbnb + hotel combination is not achievable from this sheet (no Airbnb is walkable to any listed hotel — see Airbnb), so the recommendation is a single Manhattan hotel holding the room block and a private meeting room.
Totals are for single rooms × 6 nights, using Google Hotels’ pre-tax nightly rate for Oct 4–10 plus NYC hotel tax (14.875%) and $5/night fees (Jersey City: 17.6%). Facility/destination fees charged by some hotels are not included. Click a row to expand.

≈ $50k–$60k all-in at retail
Belvedere, Club Quarters Grand Central, Hotel Edison, NH Collection, Cambria Chelsea, Riu Plaza. All meet every non-budget criterion. Ask each for a 17–20-room group block; 15–25% off retail is typical for six-night blocks, but that still lands around $40k–$48k.
≈ $30k–$35k all-in
Z Hotel (LIC, no meeting space), The Holland Hotel (Jersey City, 24h business center, free breakfast/parking, meeting rooms to confirm), Hotel The Villa (LIC). Private baths and a group desk, but 20–30 min to Midtown and no private conference room.
$16.5k–$25.1k all-in
Astoria Inn LaGuardia (4.3★, ~900 sq ft conference space reported, 30–40 min to Midtown) is the only in-budget hotel that clears the quality bar. Casa Blanca (2.6★) and Imperial Brooklyn (East New York) fit the price but fail “clean, professional, safe”.
The airbnb tab is an Airbnb search for 16 adults, Oct 4–10. 79 of 84 listings are in New
Jersey (Jersey City Heights, Journal Square, Newark, Bayonne, Union City, Hoboken). None is within walking
distance of any hotel on the hotels tab, and the whole-home listings are 4–7 bedrooms with
shared bathrooms — not single-occupancy private rooms. The New York listings are either hotel rooms resold
at ≈ $530/night or unreviewed townhouses.
Four Jersey City Heights homes within a ~10-minute walk of each other around Pershing Field / Riverview Park, 15–20 min walk (or one bus) to Journal Square PATH → 33rd St in ~20 min. for 20 private bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms; kitchens and a dedicated workspace in two of the homes. Fails: private bath per room, central NY, hotel-grade professionalism.
Ask for: 17–20 single-occupancy rooms Oct 4–10 (6 nights), one private meeting room for the full stay with access 6am–midnight (or 24h), complimentary Wi-Fi, no facility fee, and a group rate net of taxes.
