Great Choice in NYC
I stayed at the Econo Lodge for 6 nights at the end of June. The staff were remarkably friendly and helpful. The rooms are not huge but are bigger than other NYC hotels I've stayed in before. The continental breakfast is enough to start your day with bagels, pastries, cereal and coffee.
The location is perfect for anyone planning to see a few shows. We were only a few blocks away from any theatre we needed to walk to. 
I will stay here again on my next visit and certainly recommend it to anyone else!
