Frommer's Highly Recommended

For many, the location of this 43-story Doubletree, in the heart of darkness known as Times Square, where the streets are constantly gridlocked, the neon burns holes into your eye sockets, the noise level is ear-splitting, and where, lucky you, there is an Olive Garden across the street and a McDonald's next door, might offer a more Vegas-like experience than a true New York one. But at times we all must make sacrifices for our children, and this Doubletree, location and all, is perfect for the kids. From the fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookies served upon arrival, the spacious, affordable suites big enough for two 5-year-olds to play hide-and-seek (as mine did), and the all-day children's room-service menu to the proximity to the gargantuan Toys \"R\" Us, the TKTS Booth, and other kid-friendly Times Square offerings, this Doubletree is hard to beat for families. Bathrooms have two entrances so the kids don't have to traipse through the parent's rooms, and every suite has two televisions with PlayStation so while Nickelodeon is on one, CNN can be tuned in on the other.

In rooms:A/C, 2 TVs w/pay movies and video games, dataport, minibar, fridge, wet bar w/coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron, safe, high-speed Internet connectivity, microwave.
