My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Midtown on 57th street for my birthday weekend. This hotel is in a location where you are close to everything! We went to a broadway show and ate at Frankie and Johnnies, which was only a 5 min cab ride. The next day we took the train down to the meatpacking industry and then over to the 9/11 memorial, and it was only 5-10 minutes. The hotel itself is a normal Holiday Inn. By no means is it top notch, but for a budget hotel it was fine. They redid the lobby and bar area recently which looks very nice. We would stay at this hotel again without a second thought : )
