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.

We stayed at the Crown Plaza ~ Times Sq. when we were there in May. Also a great location. We have also stayed at the Broadway Millenium, and enjoyed it.
I agree, great city! Enjoy!!!!!

Edited to add: We have also stayed at the Marquis and enjoyed it also!

The W is very nice.

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!

Luxury: Sofitel New York
Moderate: Beacon Hotel
Budget: Chelsea Lodge

I met a couple today who also recommended the Holiday Inn Express at 45th street. They said the place was small, but very comfortable and paid $500 for two nights, including parking,taxes and breakfast.

Here are some other gems....

Courtyard New York is a haven in NYC.
“It’s just two blocks from the center of
Times Square and yet as soon as you walk in
you feel calm. The staff were very friendly
and efficient. You should stay in this hotel
if you want to be near the bustle of Times
Square but need a peaceful retreat.”
