DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown
It was small but clean and affordable! Staff was friendly and helpful. Right next to subway stations made it easy to get around. The only downside was elevator wait times.

Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square South
The building itself is clean. The outside and surrounding area seemed a little unsafe I wouldn’t have gone out on my own. The room was very small even for 2 people. But the staff was nice and the hotel was clean. Worth it if on a budget and the outside doesn’t work.
