Short stay at Broadway Plaza Hotel
My wife and I stayed at Broadway Plaza for 3 nights in late November. It was the least expensive of the midtown hotels we looked at. This is a small hotel near Empire State Building, about a 25 minute walk from Times Square. The rooms are good sized and fairly clean, with outdated furnishings. The staff is friendly. The only real complaint is that there is only one elevator to the upper floors, heavily used particularly in the morning, so expect long waits. The continental breakfast was bare bones. We arrived late at night at which time the neighborhood is mostly closed up with metal garage doors and barred gates, so kind of bleak looking and uninviting. The maids hover wanting to clean your room early, if you tend to hang around in the morning, as we do.
