Hotels in NYC?

The Andaz Bryant Park, across the street from the NY Public Library, may be pricier but would be a good home base and is a really cool hotel.

Archer and The Refinery are also both in the garment district (just south of Times Square), so you have the midtown home base for getting around but on streets that aren't hectic.

Doubletree Financial District was totally fine, reasonably priced.

Stayed here this past summer, thought it was good and very um contemporary Brooklyn. Same group owns other Brooklyn hotels
