Definitely stay again
I've visited New York many times before and I've always stayed at a hostel, but as I was visiting with my mum, I wanted to stay in a hotel. For the price we paid, I thought the Holiday Inn was a very good hotel. Very good location, few blocks away from 2 major subway lines and literally a few blocks from Times Square. 
The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. The only downside was that the rooms were quite small and were not cleaned until after 4pm, which was inconvenient at times. Overall, I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
