Thank you for the list. I suppose your initial question is the right one to ask. For example, I live in Manhattan (as I think you do too). If someone asked me for a good hotel location, I wouldn't tell them Times Square or near the Empire State Building or Central Park. Those are fine for 10 minutes to take a photo, but not really where I'd want to spend most of my time if I were a visitor.
I'd probably opt for something in the Meatpacking District or Lower East Side or SoHo.
And perhaps relative to NYC, I view "close" as a 5 minute walk, not 30 minutes. Though I can see how anything in downtown Philly is better than the "Philadelphia" hotels that are really in Camden.
Thanks for the thoughts!
