Carnegie Hotel, New York City

Advantages: Location, Location, Location :-)
Disadvantages: Tired and Dated Hotel :-(

..., and a diner attached to get your breakfast, so after leaving your room there's no excuses to hang around! Or there's a Starbucks over the road if you want to grab a coffee. I can recommend The Carnegie Deli over the road if you want to get a corned beef sandwich/slice of cheesecake (we had a view of it from our window!) and Carnegie Hall is one block up. If you're just after a fairly cheap mid-range hotel in a central location then you can't go far wrong with this place. Just bear in mind that it's not The Plaza! Far from it! On the plus side though, the price of the accommodation enabled us to afford another night in New York, so it's not all bad :-)... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Location
Disadvantages: Food

...Although the hotel is situated in one of the best locations in New York City (it is a couple of blocks away from the centre of Times Square), it lacks a little quality. The restaurant facilities are not up to much, especially breakfast-wise and the rooms are nothing special. However, it is better than most hotels in New York and the location does more than make up for the slight lack of quality. The hotel is situated in a midtown location which is ideal for shopping and seeing most of the NYC sites.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and right on Times Square
Disadvantages: A bit on the shabby side

...Hotel Carter is often referred to as a hostel but I wouldn't go that far. Although it's not exactly New York luxury the room was en-suite and was clean and a good size, if a little dated (the carpet on the wall is somewhat different!). The Hotel didn't have a restaurant but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. If you are just after a cheap weekend in the Big Apple you can't get a much more central location than this Hotel which is just off Times Square and for the money compared to other NY hotels I think it is great value. Especially since you'll probably spend very little time in hotel room with the rest of New York to explore!... Read review
