Right, MrsB and myself have decided to go to New York for our holiday but the last time I went over (about...Oh 10 or so years ago....I am soo old) I stayed with a friend so I know nothing about the hotels (other than the blatantly big names like the Waldorf)
Anyone know of any good hotels, fairly close to Times Square/Broadway and all that sort of touristy nonsense? Doesn't have to be ridic cheap, but I'm no balla either.

Have sent an email to a friend who lives there. I'll post her suggestions once she gets back to me.

I have stayed here the two times I went to NYC http://www.jerseycity.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jspDrawbacks it obviously isn't in Manhattan but it is right next to the PATH station which is $1.75 10 minute ride to Manhattan. Positives it is a damn sight cheaper than Manhattan especially if you bid on Priceline (I paid $75/nt last yr) and the view across the Hudson is incred. |

If you can afford it, if only for part of your stay, this place is great http://www.cityclubhotel.com/Walking distance to times sq, Broadway. Stayed there three times (each time on business account, fortunately) and its the nuts. I thoroughly recommend it |

Still think this is the best kept secret, value hotel in all of Manhattan. http://www.wolcott.com/?WT.mc_id=2600 W. 31st - three blocks from the Empire State Building but with Jersey prices. |
