Built: 1963 
Renovated: 2005 
440 W 57th St, New York, NY
Located three long blocks from Central Park, removed from the action, this hotel does offer clean and comfortable public areas, well-stocked guest rooms, cheap parking and one of few outdoor pools in Manhattan.

230 E 51st St, New York, NY
This hotel has long been a staple of frugal travelers willing to overlook the small guest rooms and inconsistent maintenance. A notch or two above the nearby YMCA, it certainly has a lot of character, with a nifty French restaurant and a fun bar, all in a smart neighborhood (Stephen Sondheim lives t... Read Entire Review »

851 Eighth Ave, New York, NY
Located in a fringe neighborhood near several theaters northwest of Times Square, seven blocks south of Central Park, this former Howard Johnson Hotel is not as spacious nor as well-equipped as its neighbors, the Milford Plaza and the Days Hotel.

66 Park Ave at 38th St, New York, NY
Situated in a tepid Midtown location that is convenient for business and leisure, this lovely corner building is the work of I.M. Pei, but it has little in common with the Four Seasons, which he also constructed. This excellent hotel sits comfortably in the middle ranks, offering a largely Asian cli... Read Entire Review »

270 W 45th St, New York, NY
Located next to the Majestic Theater, a quick stroll from Times square, and a few blocks from the Javitz center, this hotel is, like its neighborhood, bustling and a little dusty. Eighth Avenue still has an edge to it, but it is safe for families to stroll along late into the night. Exceedingly popu... Read Entire Review »

1335 Ave of the Americas, New York, NY
Located in a prime Midtown location, this 46-story slab of zigzagging blue glass is situated between 53rd and 54th streets. It is the largest hotel in Manhattan and has the city's largest ballroom, so prospective guests should consider the scale of the place before booking. Crowds by the thousands-n... Read Entire Review »

234 W 48th St, New York, NY
This hotel in the theater district, half a block west of the far superior Crowne Plaza Manhattan, is a safe standby for budgeting visitors that rivals the mediocre Milford Plaza. Here guests arrive to find limited facilities, a lackadaisical staff, smallish guest quarters and adequate maintenance. I... Read Entire Review »

36 Central Park S, New York, NY
This slender 46-story tower just west of The Plaza bases its high rates more on the gilded location and soaring views of Central Park than on inherent quality. Located in the midtown business district, the hotel is convenient to Fifth Avenue shopping, Broadway theaters, Museum Mile, Radio City and L... Read Entire Review »

144-02 135th Ave, Jamaica, NY
Located near the superior Radisson, near a slew of budget offerings and convenient to the terminals via free shuttle, this dated but acceptable hotel suffices for a one-night stand. It has been nearly a decade since the last major renovation here, and though maintenance is pretty good, oversights an... Read Entire Review »

145 W 44th St, New York, NY
This property appears to be miscast, for it is a strictly business hotel in the lively heart of the Theater District. It even encompasses a historic former theater, which now seats 700, mainly for business productions. In the block-long lobby, a row of huge neoclassical canvases in eye-popping hues... Read Entire Review »

1605 Broadway, New York, NY
This hotel anchoring the north end of Times Square is Crowne Plaza's 46-story flagship. The tour de force occupies most of a city block, its huge porte cochere a landmark on the square. Donning the work of hotshot designer Adam Tihany, the hotel, like its neighborhood, blends glamour and function. I... Read Entire Review »

Located in one of New York's most intriguing neighborhoods, overlooking beautiful Bryant Park and the back of the New York Public Library, near the smaller, more subdued Library Hotel and edgy Dylan, this is a hip boutique-hotel with an elan that few in its class can match.

More than any other hotel in this city, this discreet address has the aura of an uptown mansion. It ranks just below The Carlyle, Plaza Athenee and the Mark as the best of New York's small luxury hotels. However, management continues to struggle with inconsistent service. Built in 1924, this landmar... Read Entire Review »
