I have been to NYC many times....stayed in expensive places (on business, of course) but have hunted down bargains while there for pleasure.
Hands down, The Belvedere the best hotel in Midtown if you are looking for value, location, helpfullness of the staff (terrific!) and clean and spacious rooms.
My favourite part? It is located on a very quiet residential part of 48th St, between 8th & 9th...that helped a lot when you are rolling in during the wee eyes for a few hours of shut-eye...
My one and only complaint? Only 2 elevators. There was a wee bit of a wait to leave in the mornings, especially if your room is on the top floor (fabulous!)
This will be the ONLY place we stay when we are on NYC from now on :)
