US Tennis Open Hotels
The Best US Tennis Open hotels include our cheap, budget and lesser known discount hotels along with Hotels near Grand Central, Penn Station and the NTC in Queens.
- SpringHill Suites by Marriott – Queens Hotel with free US Open shuttle
- Affinia Manhattan Hotel – right next to Penn Station
- Dumont NYC – the hotel I recommend to MY friends and family
Part of the fun of traveling to the US Open is to see NYC, right? In that case, you’ll want to stay in hotels closest to the NYC public transportation that takes you there quickly.
