Marriott Marquis in Times Square is convenient and quiet
I stayed on the 17th floor facing Times Square. Great views of the new years eve ball and Good Morning America show each morning. Location is right on Times Square and very convenient to the subway yet the hotel is really quiet. Beware though, the room service prices are astronomically high. I know room service is pricey but $21 for a waffle (just a waffle) is just exorbitant, even for room service.
