With Times Square's makeover in the nineties, Broadway Inn proprietor Gloria Milner saw a niche for a mid-priced, family-friendly haven for tourists. In comparison to the mammoth Marriott and Paramount hotels down the street, the Broadway Inn is an inviting, intimate relief from the frenzy of the area, while offering convenient access to its attractions. Its 41 rooms are well-sized by midtown standards, and impeccably clean. The décor recalls Gilded Age New York with subtle, art deco accents like a simple gold trim around the bed frames. A small table with director's chair gives another nod to the inn's Theater District environs. Each room has its own TV, air conditioner and bathroom with new fixtures, while suites, which accommodate up to four people, offer a pullout sofa, microwave and cooler. The inn serves a complimentary breakfast in the second-floor lobby, where WiFi internet access is also available. Guests can also enjoy a three-course dinner at Playwright's Tavern around the corner for just $15 a person. Discounts and advance reservations for theater tickets are available. — Susan Chenelle

Personal touches and reasonable rates give visitors a relatively relaxing way to enjoy the heart of the city.

Cons
No elevators, though the friendly hotel staff will happily lug bags up and down the three stories.  While double-paned windows cut down on street noise, they can't completely block it out. Rooms at the back of the hotel are quieter.
