I have stayed at the marriot courtyard in times square, plenty of airbnbs, and now arlo midtown. I can say that Arlo Midtown is probably my favorite place to stay in NY. Classy eloquent vibes with a very clean atmosphere and a free rooftop with a beautiful view of the city. The value was also hard to beat with the amazing modern look of the hotel room and the bathroom, also being walking distance from the vessel, the pier, times square, and more. In my opinion, this hotel was in the best location to visit everything.
