We've stayed twice at the Waldorf and if you are lucky sometimes you can get a $199 per night rate. If you are Hilton Honors, you can get an upgrade and if you reserve and pay via AMEX Plat Travel, you get breakfast at Oscars included which is a $20 pp breakfast.
We've also stayed at the Westin Times Square and enjoyed the location and the rooms. You can see the ships from the view!
