Visit a travel website and enter your destination, which is New York City, and your travel dates. Select from the drop down menu the number of guests staying in your room and submit your search.
Browse the list of available hotel rooms until you find one you want. To narrow down your search and weed out the rooms not in your budget or of any interest to you, select the options located on the search page that allow you to customize your search. Enter your price range and amenities. Choosing a particular neighborhood will help to ensure you receive a view from your room.
View the list of narrowed-down results and find the hotel room you want with a balcony and that is in your price range. Book your room by clicking "Book Now" next to your chosen hotel and providing your personal information as well as your credit card number to hold your reservation. Keep the confirmation page for your records.
