No full-service restaurant on-site
No fitness center on-site
A converted apartment building, the Best Western PLUS Hospitality House is a great mid-range option in Midtown East. Rooms -- which are all one- or two-bedrooms -- are very spacious by New York City standards. Each one comes with a full kitchen and all the necessary utensils; a separate living space with a flat-screen TV; and bathrooms with Bath & Body toiletries. Amenities are few: There is a free breakfast buffet daily that can be taken in an outdoor courtyard, but there is no full-service restaurant. There's also no fitness center on-site, but the hotel does provide free passes to a nearby YMCA. Overall, it's a solid option for large groups and those looking for a homey stay in Manhattan -- but it's worth comparing rates with the Wyndham Midtown 45, which also offers kitchen-equipped suites.

Scene
A mid-range hotel with homey, kitchen-equipped suites

Rooms are large, easily fitting large families or groups of friends, and come with full kitchens, separate living spaces (often with sofa beds), and one or two bedrooms.Property features aren't as numerous as at other hotels in the area, so it's worth comparing prices with similar properties, like the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Midtown East or Wyndham Midtown 45, both of which also feature rooms with full kitchens.
