There are, against all standards of decency, occasionally reasons that one has to attend events in the Times Square neighborhood of New York.  There also are, sadly, a dearth of decent hotels in the area.  The W there sucks, and I hope you wouldn’t even consider the Marriott. The best option, if you must be near, is the Bryant Park Hotel. And this might be your soundtrack:
