The Conrad down in Battery Park is a converted Embassy Suites so also has standard rooms with large footprint, but the service was awful on my last stay a few years back.

I think the Hilton Times Square standard room size is generally considered good for Midtown? I wrote about my stay here, in the respective property thread.

Conrad has the most space being 430 sq ft suites. The Hilton Times Square has a rooms starting around 330 sq ft which is spacious for NY. Doubletree Suites Times Square has slightly small suites than the Conrad but I much prefer Hilton Times Square, great staff and its just off Times Square not in the center of all the craziness and people.

I like my $99 at the Hilton in Tudor City.
Primary benefit of that hotel being that it's not in Times Square...
And it's small and wholly unattractive to tourists and large groups.
That said, the DT TS eliminates one common Manhattan issue: the tiny or oddly-shaped rooms. If you need space, it's a very good choice.

In a way, it's my favorite time to go. Other than the 20% chance that a snowstorm completely f's up the airports for three days, it's a great time to be there because nobody else is. 
I'm just there for work, but I'm guessing if you're a tourist who wants to visit indoor museums without the crowds, it's probably good for that too.

A little OT but i used a Citi cert for this property for NYE for an out of town friend this year (well it was a weekend night ). The paid rate was ~$3,000. I was chuffed as they say. But then my friend arrived at 6 pm and didn't leave the property until morning as it was such a zoo in the surrounding area. Apparently the hotel staff was warning guests about going out (bitter cold and inability to get back easily.) Oh what fun.

Oh what fun.Times Square on NYE isn't appealing to me, but I'm glad to hear the cert worked for people who wanted to use it there. ^

Hilton hotels in NYC
Hi everyone
I'm planning a 5 night stay in NYC in the middle of May. I'm a Hilton Honours Diamond member so would like to make the most of that and stay in a Hilton. I'm visiting the new Conrad in Fort Lauderdale Florida before NYC and have used most of my points for that stay and only have 200,000 remaining. I'll use these points for 1 or 2 of the NYC nights and pay cash for the remaining nights.
I've never visited NYC before and despite having researched it for the last couple of nights, can't decide on which hotel to go for. I think I've narrowed it down to:
1.) Conrad close to Battery Park: looks like the nicest hotel but worst in terms of location, also most expensive. I like spending time in the hotel bar and the bars here look good. Also no exec lounge
2.) Millennium Hilton 1 UN Plaza: newly renovated, has an exec lounge, some reviews say location is OK but others say it's a far out. Limited bar and dining options in hotel but looks like there are some places close by. Also appears to have great views
3.) Hilton N.Y. Midtown: location better than 1 and 2 without being in the real busy Times Square. Also has an Exec lounge. Not sure about bar/dining options. Some rooms receive bad reviews but I think there's a mixture of newly renovated rooms and older tired rooms
4.) Hilton Times Square: no exec lounge and probably in too busy a location for my liking although reviews seem to suggest it's a nicer hotel than Midtown
As you can probably tell...I'm indecisive but under pressure from my other half to make a decision!
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom and happy to hear about any other Hilton hotels I've not mentioned.
cheers
Alan
