Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
Nice clean hotel, room was comfortable. Good location to Times Square if that’s the area you’re looking for. Lifts were faulty on the last day and security had to manually pick and drop everyone off to there floors. Apart from that no issues

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
We loved that the elevator only operated with a key card. We felt safe and cozy. The room was small, but exactly perfect. The beds were absolutely amazing along with the pillows. I would revisit for every trip back into NYC.
