We like the Marriott Marquis on Times Square. Its a taxi ride to the Met from there but it is reasonably priced (for NY) I have family in NY so don't often stay in hotels there but sometimes don't want to drive home after the theater and late supper so we have also stayed at the Rennaissance (sp) Times Square. It is also owned by Marriott. The Marquis has much nicer common areas (lobby etc.) but I think the Ren has somewhat larger rooms. Both priced about the same: $300ish. I would go with whichever is cheaper for the date you want to be there. Have fun! NY is a great city.
