New York Midtown(?) Hotel Recommendations

[SummaLuvin]

Heading to New York in May and wanted some advice on where to stay as we are finding all the choices quite overwhelming. Any advice would be very welcome or if you can share experiences - good or bad.

• We are first timers to NYC and are thinking that Midtown is probably the right area for us.
• The trip is for 10 days so want somewhere nice and comfortable given the length of stay.
• No children, just DH and me.
• We have a decent budget, and are looking at the likes of Ritz Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Park Hyatt, The Peninsula.... but we would not be upgrading to a suite, so the standard of the entry level rooms is key.

Lots of homeless in the uk don’t have a mental health team. We’ve had people with mental health, drug and alcohol abuse issues for generations now. I don’t like the subway and much prefer Uber. It always seemed dirty, smelly and idiosyncratic. Safe during day but at night? Not my idea of safe travel.

I’m sorry to hear this. It shows what a delicate balance society is and how a few changes can really leave the most vulnerable exposed.
