I highly recommend the M Social Hotel! It’s in a very central location just around the corner from Times Square and a subway stop that will get you to Penn Station in only 20 minutes. I had a nice, quiet room on the 25th floor with a spectacular view of the Hudson River. A good value for two nights at $325 including taxes. They have a good breakfast buffet until 11 am that’s worth the extra $27. I’ll stay there again next time I’m in New York!
