Milford Plaza on Broadway in New York
Cant be arsed to retype my review of the hotel i stayed in when i went to NY to work so ill just shamelessly copy and paste what i put up on tripadvisor.

“Danger Will Robinson BED BUGS APPROACHING!”

"This hotel might LOOK nice from the outside but don't be fooled. The room is a claustrophobic nightmare, the TV was old, the view was of a brick wall and the air con was like having a jet engine on....ALL THE TIME. Yup, it never turns off.

They are the good parts.

The real horror of this place lies under the bed, in the cracks of the walls (which i can assure you there are many) or behind the rank PEELING wallpaper. YES the enemy are bedbugs.

The first couple of nights i thought i was itching because maybe they used freaky detergent on the sheets. Well any civilised person would!

I woke up every day with fresh bits and the nice "3 in a row" bites bed bugs leave. I had itching sore spots my whole stay.

They moved me to another room when i complained. BONUS this room had a plasma TV....um but the bathroom was a mould fest and in the corners of the bathroom you could see DRIED BLOOD from the bedbugs previous feasts.

Seriously consider wether paying a few bucks less or being right in Broadway is so important. This hotel was awful, the worst i've ever had the misfortune to stay in. Dont be fooled by their glitzy website."

Stayed there on business
$200 a night.

For a cheapish stay, slap bang downtown, you cannot beat the Hampton Inn, on Pearl Street. This has "recently" been upgrade, all rooms appear to have wall mounted Plasmas, the beds are clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms fully clean, and all for $159 a night!
