This attractive hotel sits on a less-than-attractive block in the wholesale Garment District, but its free Wi-Fi, lovely rooftop bar, modern restaurant, and proximity to tourist sites make it a great pick for the price. However, the rooms are a bit cramped. The nearby Archer Hotel offers more upscale rooms at just slightly higher prices.

The Whitby Hotel offers a colorful, English-style package near Manhattan's Central Park and MoMa. Catering to couples and business travelers, there’s something intimate about the 86 individually decorated rooms with amenities like flat-screen TVs, posh bathrooms, and minibars. Highlights range from a modern fitness center to an upscale restaurant, and even a state-of-the-art movie theater with Sunday screenings. Still, drawbacks like no coffee- and tea-making facilities in the rooms and a lack of a pool or spa are a bit of a letdown. The Standard High Line is a similar hotel in terms of design and amenities -- albeit with a livelier party vibe -- however, it is perhaps better located in Chelsea near the High Line, hip stores, and fun restaurants.

The budget Americana Inn offers some of the lowest rates found in Midtown. It’s conveniently located in the Garment District near several subway lines and many attractions such as the Empire State Building (just a six-minute walk), Bryant Park, and Times Square. The 54 rooms are basic and a bit dreary. They include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and attractive modern sinks, but bathrooms are shared. Kitchenettes, with microwaves and mini-fridges, can be found on every floor. Travelers could also consider the Hotel St. James near Times Square, which offers private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, for slightly higher rates.

Between the contemporary art (even in the guest rooms) and the high-design lobby, this luxury boutique feels as much like a SoHo gallery as a hotel. Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, and Fifth Avenue are all within a three block radius. The cheapest rooms might feel like a tight squeeze but they're spacious for New York standards and lofted suites with expansive balconies are more like luxury apartments than hotel rooms. David Chang's Ma Peche restaurant and Milk Bar are hot spots for Manhattanites and hotel guests. There isn't a fitness center but guests get free passes to a nearby gym and pool. Chambers Hotel is a rare find for the Midtown East neighborhood. Though prices are high, most hotels in this neighborhood (St. Regis New York,The Peninsula New York, Four Seasons New York) are even higher and they don't offer room service by David Chang.

Clean, comfortable, and convenient, the 184-room Hampton Inn is a fine pick for the buck, especially given its free continental breakfast, fitness center, and Wi-Fi. But in this location, just outside Times Square by the Port Authority bus depot, there are no glittering lights -- it's quiet, but not very pretty.

The Econo Lodge Times Square offers 56 tiny rooms in a basic hotel whose big draw is its location; the property is situated about two blocks from its namesake, and is near the Theater District and subways. The rooms have comfortable mattresses in spaces so small it’s a challenge to drag a suitcase around the bed. Generally, cleanliness is at a good level at this value hotel, and the free continental breakfast often garners positive comments. Guests have noted worn carpeting, the occasional lapse in cleanliness, strong cleaning product smells, and that lower floors are noisy; the hotel provides earplugs, but sensitive sleepers may want to request higher floors.
