New York City hotels range from the tacky to the frankly wacky; from world-class luxury to bijoux treasures. In our experience, the visitor treated as a battery-farmed chicken makes for an unhappy bird; so our criteria are character, comfort and value for money, whatever the price category. And remember, the NYCard offers some great hotel bargains.

Holiday Inn Downtown
138 Lafayette St. (at Canal St.)
Tel: 212-966-8898, Fax: 212-966-3933

www.cityinsights.com. Well-equipped, spotless rooms. But it’s the just-off-Canal Street location, on the border of Chinatown and SoHo, that makes this a fun choice. 223 rooms. $100-$300

Tel: 212-947-2500, Fax: 212-279-1310

Wyndham
42 W.58th St. (betw. 5th and 6th Aves.)
Tel: 212-753-3500, Fax: 212-754-5638

Quirky in an almost delightful sort of way. Large, basic rooms with walk-in closets (to store all that shopping), a salty, (or seasoned?) staff, a great midtown location and character of an indeterminate sort have earned this hotel a lot of repeat business. 200 rooms. $100-$300
