Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
It wasn't spotless, but it was a great stay. And very convenient to Times Square

Hotel Edison Times Square
Room was cozy. A little noisy if you on the street side - but it is right near Broadway so to be expected. If you want to see lots of broad shows this is a place for you. That’s right in the heart of midtown. The 6.50 breakfast is great. Staff at front counter could be a little bit more helpful. ...
