A converted apartment building, the Best Western PLUS Hospitality House is a great mid-range option in Midtown East. Rooms -- which are all one- or two-bedrooms -- are very spacious by New York City standards. Each one comes with a full kitchen and all the necessary utensils; a separate living space with a flat-screen TV; and bathrooms with Bath & Body toiletries. Amenities are few: There is a free breakfast buffet daily that can be taken in an outdoor courtyard, but there is no full-service restaurant. There's also no fitness center on-site, but the hotel does provide free passes to a nearby YMCA. Overall, it's a solid option for large groups and those looking for a homey stay in Manhattan -- but it's worth comparing rates with the Wyndham Midtown 45, which also offers kitchen-equipped suites.

Opened in 2010, the mid-range Hotel Mulberry is in Lower Manhattan's bustling Chinatown, but stays quiet due to its location across the street from Columbus Park. A subtle fusion of Asia meets New York extends throughout the hotel, from Eastern art prints to sharp modern furniture, and the 34 rooms are large by Manhattan standards. In-room amenities include pillow-top mattresses and flat-screen TVs, and some rooms offer amazing views of the World Trade Center or furnished terraces. Other freebies include breakfast at a local restaurant and Wi-Fi. The Moderne Hotel in Midtown is a bit more trendy (and closer to many of Manhattan's sights), but the size of the Hotel Mulberry's rooms and its comparably low rates make it a great option.

Formerly a Ritz-Carlton, The Wagner at the Battery features gorgeous rooms, top-notch service, and a premier gym and spa. "Battery Park" tells you you're in for a lower-key New York experience, with Lower Manhattan's quiet nights, cobblestone streets, and -- best of all -- rates often lower than luxury properties in town.

With a huge 2016 renovation under its belt, the 131-room Park South Hotel has become a solid upper-middle-range option with a chic, tony look. The location is excellent, with Midtown sights and the subway all within a quick walk. Features are also stellar; there's a popular seasonal rooftop bar, two full-service restaurants (including a Japanese sushi restaurant), and a chic library lounge. Rooms are smart and sophisticated with plush bedding and modern amenities like Smart TVs, charging stations, free Wi-Fi -- but mini-fridges, minibars, and coffeemakers aren't standard, and there's no room service. The Carlton Hotel offers more in-room amenities, but it's a larger hotel with decor that leans more toward stately than chic.

The WestHouse Hotel New York is one of the city's most special boutiques, and easily one of the most luxurious intimate options in this price range in Midtown West. It's on a prime square of real estate, with several train stations within a two block radius and close proximity to numerous sights, including Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Central Park. The decor is sophisticated, from the marble columns, wall maps and quirky trinkets in the lobby to the 1920s-inspired furnishings in the hotel's 172 rooms and suites. The numerous daily food and drink offerings -- from the breakfast to the happy hour with charcuterie -- add a homey feel, and most guests feel that they are worth the daily fee. If the WestHouse is booked, comparable options in the area include the Chambers and the Refinery Hotel.

The TRYP might be part of a large chain (it is owned by Wyndham), but there are few elements here that scream cookie-cutter. Spacious rooms with tons of fun details and modern technology; a solid Mediterranean restaurant; a modern fitness center, and free Wi-Fi attract a varied crowd of families, groups, and business travelers. There are a wide range of room types -- including Family Rooms that can sleep up to eight guests, and Fitness Rooms with exercise bikes -- and the location within walking distance of Times Square is convenient for tourists.

The Cassa Hotel 45th Street New York is a basic, mid-range hotel with 165 quiet, comfortable rooms -- available at rates that are generally rather moderate for the super-central midtown Manhattan location. Decor can feel semi-corporate, but rooms feature flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and modern all-white bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Cassa's on-site restaurant, Butter, is helmed by Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli. For a hotel with Old World appeal, travelers could consider the historic Algonquin around the corner, though rates are typically higher.

New York City's City Club Hotel is a 65-room upper-middle-range boutique hotel with tons of style. With contemporary design by Jeffery Billhuber and featuring artwork by local visual artist Richard Giglio, the City Club Hotel is ideal for couples or small groups seeking a smaller hotel with quiet and comfortable rooms that doesn't sacrifice style or location. While rooms are on the luxe side with fluffy down bedding, soft carpeting, ultra-suede daybeds, and marbled bathrooms, they keep their NYC hip factor with hidden minibars and antique framed maps and records. As midtown NYC is a dense area, the window views of (very) nearby buildings can be claustrophobic, and back-facing rooms are best for guests looking for rooms with less natural light. While there is a celebrated French bistro from Daniel Bloulud adjacent to the hotel serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and 24-hour room service), if you want free breakfast (as well as a host of other free food and drink offerings) look into the slightly noisier and smaller Casablanca Hotel Times Square nearby.

This upscale annex of the massive and generic Millennium Broadway hotel next door offers 125 large, quiet, and clean rooms and proximity to Times Square -- but not much else. The Premier provides value with a free breakfast buffet and evening happy hour, but its gym is actually next door, on the 16th floor of the Millennium, though it is open 24 hours a day. All things considered, the Premier's prices are too high for what you get. For a Times Square four-pearler with chicer rooms, look into Row NYC.
