I went to New York back in January 2006, and for me the Wellington Hotel was a great choice!
As I was 18 and it was just me and my partner, we wanted something cheap and cheerful. In the end (including flights) we paid £1,300 for 5 days, which is quite cheap for New York.
When we arrived, everyone is really helpful and offer to take your bags to your room (although n.b. you do have to pay tips!). The rooms are really good value and you get the usual tv, kettle, maSSive bed and good view over central park (depending which side your on).
The hotel also has a little restaurant next door that cooks really nice full english breakfasts, which you can put on your tab (just keep an eye on how much you spend!).
The location of the hotel is great and is close to Toys R Us, Central Park. We spent most our time in Toys R Us on the playstations and nintendos lol - big kids!
To sum up, the Wellington Hotel is great for the value, not very modern compared to some hotels, but staff are friendly and rooms get cleaned everyday etc. etc.
Just one thing - if you use a shuttle bus to get back to the airport, book it at reception a few days before. I just presumed they turned up and spent loads getting a taxi.
