I spend several hours reading hotel reviews and researching prices for my spring break vacation to NY with my 10-yr old daughter, before deciding on the Doubletree. It turned out to be a good choice. The location is fantastic (as long as you don't mind all the constant crowds outside or neon signs illuminating the night) - accessible to pretty much everything. I had originally booked a queen room with a sofa sleeper, thinking the sofa sleeper would be perfrect for my daughter (her own large screen TV with cable!!) but the sofa sleeper turned out to be terrible - very uncomfortable. DON"T GET A SOFA SLEEPER ROOM. She couldn't sleep on it. The next day I asked to be moved and just like that, with no hastle and no delay, we got moved to a double suite 18 floors higher up! This was perfect - plenty of room and good beds for each of us. So, long story short - service was good. The coffee in the room was surprisingly good too. The accomodations were for the most part pretty clean, but I've stayed in hotels that do a better job. My daughter loved it, which was the main thing. The consierge was also great in that she gave me a big list of gluten free restaurants in NYC (my daughter has celiac) however she also gave me some misinformation about the NYC tour boat that send my daughter and I on a bit of a wild goose chase, wasting a chunk of one of our days. There were a lot of families staying here, and everyone seemed pretty relaxed and happy. I think it's a good place to stay with kids.
