The Hampton Inn offers comfortable rooms, a fitness center, free breakfasts, free Wi-Fi, a great location next to the Brooklyn Bridge, two blocks from the historic South Street Seaport, and best of all -- very reasonable rates. Plus, for the price of a cramped room elsewhere, you can get a Deluxe Room here with a charming (and private) outdoor patio.

The 618-room Stewart Hotel offers great beds with a six-choice pillow menu, a top-notch fitness center, Aveda bath products, in-room kitchens, and David Rockwell design (a $24 million renovation was completed in 2011). It's a great option near the Javits Center or Madison Square Garden; just beware the street noise on lower-floor rooms.

Part of Hyatt's luxury Andaz mini-chain, this stylish hotel in the Financial District puts a hip spin on business travel. The sleek Wall & Water restaurant, the cool Bar Seven Five, and freebies galore make this hotel a stand-out. Only the trendy W Downtown can compete for the title of hippest downtown hotel.

An affordable but still clean and comfortable option in the crowded-by-day, desolate-by-night, garbage-strewn heart of Chinatown (just outside the Lower East Side nightlife), this 70-room hotel doesn't have much beyond its cramped guest rooms -- no fitness center, restaurant, or Wi-Fi.

The Sherry-Netherland is one of New York’s grand dames. With only 100 individually decorated rooms, white-gloved elevator operators, and a marble, vaulted lobby with crystal chandeliers, this boutique is exclusive, elegant and historic. Rooms have classic decor and modern technology features, including iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There’s not much in the way of hotel features, but the small fitness center is well-equipped, and the adjacent restaurant is known for its wonderful Venetian fare. The Sherry’s location -- on the southeastern corner of Central Park -- makes it a great base to explore the city’s major attractions.

The 239-room Peninsula has elegant guest rooms, an indoor pool, superb gym (free workout gear, organic teas, and a sauna and steam room), widely praised spa and salon, and in-room printers that make it a fine choice for a quiet, classically luxurious hotel. And for designer shopping, its Fifth Avenue location is ideal.

One block from the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, this 56-room hotel, surrounded by parking lots and warehouses, is convenient for conventioneers -- and only conventioneers. The inside is bare-bones, but tidy, and rooms come with flat-screen TVs, hairdryers, and coffeemakers. It's worth checking the rates at competing Javits-serving hotels, like the Magnuson Convention Center Hotel.

The name is a mouthful, but the three-pearl Holiday Inn Express New York City Times Square rightly touts its convenient location near one of the city's top tourist attractions. The 210 rooms are small, even by Manhattan standards, but some have king beds. Perks include a free hot continental breakfast, a nice extra for budget-minded travelers in a part of town that's not known for being cheap or having great food. But there's no full restaurant or bar on-site. Travelers looking for an affordable property in the area may want to check out this Holiday Inn's two comparable neighbors: the Hampton Inn Times Square South, which also includes free breakfast, and the Candlewood Suites New York City - Times Square next door, which has larger rooms with kitchens.

Guests who've been to a W hotel anywhere in the world know the drill: design-conscious upscale hotel with a lively bar scene, solid in-house gym, friendly and attentive service, comfy beds -- and a fairly high price tag. The only difference here: This 509-room, 43-suite property is in bustling, touristy Times Square. Rooms are stylish and well-sized for an NYC hotel and include modern amenities like 49-inch plasma TVs, minibars, and rainfall showers. In addition to the lobby bar, the hotel has two other stylish restaurants, a trendy seafood restaurant and a casual Mexican joint. Guests main complaints have to do with the price and high extra fees (for breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking, and more). Another stylish and high-end but cheaper option is the nearby Paramount Hotel, though entry level rooms there are tiny.

The stylish, all-suite hotel is one of the best luxury deals around. Its huge, 500-square-foot suites are double the size of many New York City hotel rooms and have a young, fun vibe due to modish furniture and decor. Despite having 562 rooms and 54 floors, the London NYC feels a bit like a boutique hotel, with its chic bar, friendly service, and well-equipped fitness center with lots of natural light. All that's missing is an on-site spa; travelers requiring one might consider Le Parker Meridien.
