Anyone recommend a particularly good one in Manhattan that is well located to get to most things easily on foot?
Stayed there 10 years ago in three nice ones but was by Brooklyn Bridge, then Central Park, then Ground Zero. Looking for just one this time but more centrally located.

Stayed here a couple of years ago. Its on 31st street so close to lots of stuff. Friendly staff and free tea/coffee always available in the lobby (which was great for us as it was -10C for some of the time we were there). Our room was relatively small.
It was about $230 a night but that was booked as a "secret hotel" through Hotwire - although I was 90% certain that this was the hotel I was booking - a bit of detective work can usually pinpoint the hotels.

We went a week before Christmas so I would think it would be cheaper than that normally.

2 hour happy hour (5-7pm_...'free' beer and wine and snacks and when you consider the price of wine in US, it's handy. We stayed there last Easter, loved it..

RTB, when we take the family we stay at the Hilton in Times Square. Yes, it can be a little chaotic there but you're right in the middle of things and is ideal for walking to most places. We usually take a two-room suite which is ideal for the five of us and prices are competitive.
The New Yorker. Can't recommend enough. V central, great diner attached for breakfast and Madison Square Garden in walking distance. Oh and great deals.
Go every year and always stay at the Library Hotel - Madison and 41st. Not cheap, but the reviews are not wrong!!.
Gawdalmighty, amazingly out of all the hotels around this is the one I came down on when searching around online (before reviewing this thread). Has a lot going for it - didn't see any great deals though, anywhere specific to find these?
Roger - wherever you stay, do take time to go back to Ground Zero. The memorial is very moving, but the names of deceased where followed by "and unborn child" chills to the bone
A knife a fork a bottle and a cork that's how you spell New York...

Blackbarn, when I went in December 2006 in one of our hotels we were on the 33rd floor overlooking the Ground Zero site. From the ground it was all boarded up but from where we were we could see everything that was going on with the work inside. It was very sobering.
Park Central worked for us. Seventh avenue midway between the park and Times Sq. We paid about 180 USD per night iirc. The exchange rate was much more friendly then.
Stayed at The New Yorker twice, really recommend it.
Superbly placed in the middle if Manhattan which makes getting to all boroughs pretty easy.
The diner in the lobby, Tick Tock is cracking too

Roger- Can't recall where we found the deals for The New Yorker, we just searched online. But after talking to other guests staying the same time as us, we got huge reductions some how. Just do a compare search, buddy.
Stayed at the Viceroy for last New Year - excellent location next to Carnegie Hall. Rooftop bar heated for all weathers.
Stayed at the Warwick very expensive but very quite area in evening 5 mins walk from times square
