Suggestions for accomodation near Shea Stadium

I'm planning to go to NYC this fall to see a Mets game and a Yankees game before Shea and Yankee Stadium are relegated to the scrap heap of history.

I'm going with a buddy as opposed to my wife, so fancy digs are not necessary. Any suggestions about decent accomodation near Shea Stadium?

Thanks in advance.

There are many hotels near Shea because of its proximity to Laguardia Airport...Clarion, Courtyard by Marriott, Crowne Plaza and Ramada Inn are just a few....Enjoy the games!

Hope this helps

Let's Go Mets

If attempting to see Yankee and Shea..best location is Manhattan..
Flushing you are close to Shea with a cab ride...but would need bus or cab/car service for Yankee Stadium...Have Fun..

Check the NY Mets Official Home Page..here is hotel, etc info...

Shea Stadium is right next to LaGuardia airport, so all those airport hotels are very close. The Marriott is clean, quiet and very close.
