Top hotels in Uptown
Loews Regency New York Hotel
Excellent stay, very clean spacious rooms. Location is great - close to everything. Only downfall was the bathroom, very tiny with a pedestal sink right next to the toilet, not great for women who need to get ready.

Empire Hotel
Amazing location right across from Lincoln Center, and very good price by NYC standards. They're in the process of doing some room upgrades that should add further value.
