I stayed in the Pioneer(now called Sohotel) in 2000. It was clean, basic, cheap and central. Not that close to Times Square - probably a 20 minute (interesting) walk IIRC.

 

We stayed in the Milford Plaza hotel, which is really close to Times Square (only a block or 2 i think). It was reasonable (and fairly cheap), though the room we were in looked like it was a little overdue for a redecoration.

Hotel Metro is pretty good on Lexington Avenue.

 

The new Westin at Times Square is ok. The rooms are a bit tight, but it's new and modern and well located.

 

i stayed at the edison on broadway & eighth, very near times square, 3* quite cheap and has ok hotel bar. rooms comfortable but not luxurious...

just got back on saturday from new york and it was excellent and its not as hot as it is normally this time of year.

 

There's a Marriott on Times Square which is good. Always know what's you're getting with a Marriott. But you wouldn't get me staying in Times Square - there are better places. Somewhere near Central Park would be my preference.

 

The Roosevelt's nice, stayed there twice now. I think it's a bit pricey if you're not on a package deal - you'd have to check.

will have a look at these later cheers, any more?

steve, i went last year on your suggestion to radio city lol

nr times square is the girlfriends suggestion

 

The Sheraton has decent rooms as opposed to a lot of hotels with TINY rooms. One of the better choices I suppose.

 

Stayed in The Plaza which is on the corner of central park, very nice but maybe a bit pricey for the size of room (was suposed to be a suite too), very clean/grand hotel still though.
