I don't think an amazing expensive hotel is a necessity as you will be out all day and night exploring, all you really need it for is a base. But, obviously, you don't want to stay in a hostel either

I believe you're allowed back up the Statue Of Liberty now? Last time I actually managed to go up it was 1991 Last time I went to NY was 2006, but would like to get back this year

Allowed into the base of the structure - if you get there early enough as its limited tickets
Still cant go up there though since 9/11

if you can get the one we stayed in then go for that
Great location - although most are - its trade off
One hotel can be close to something but far away from somewhere else
We chose central park side as it was on broadway so literally 10 mins to 42nd street

I went in 1993 and stayed in a hotel across the road from Madison Square Gardens. There was a big concert on one of the nights I was there.
Went to Coney Island, Statue of Liberty and up the Empire State Building. Awesome view!
