When visiting Yankee Stadium in the Bronx,
New York, there are many hotels from which to choose. You can choose a hotel close to the stadium, or a hotel that may have more amenities but is farther away from the stadium. Below is a list of affordable hotels near Yankee Stadium, sorted by distance. Be sure to book as far in advance as possible, as these hotels sell out quickly around game days.
Additionally, it is best to take a taxi or the subway to the Stadium. The Bronx is known for being a crime-ridden area, so do not walk anywhere alone, especially after sunset. If you must walk to and from the game, plan your route ahead of time so you don't get lost, and travel in a large group. Stick to well-traveled areas and streets with a lot of traffic.
