The M60 bus is almost always faster than the Q70 since you aren't going very far to get to Astoria Blvd. Then it's a straight shot into Times Square on the N Train. I've made it from LGA to my office (55th/Broadway) mid-day in about 35 minutes, so 45 minutes to Times Square. But that was a good day with good connections. I take this bus relatively often, and it's pretty reliable, but it can be very busy and doesn't have room for all the luggage.
My only caveat: The trip up to the Astoria Blvd. subway station from the bus is arduous, but there is an escalator, and you can't really get lost since it's so obvious where you need to go.
And keep in mind that "Times Square Area" is a huge area when described in terms of hotels. Depending on where you're staying, I might recommend a completely different mode of transport. The E train, for example, is significantly faster than the 7 from Roosevelt Avenue, but it lets you off at the Port Authority rather than Times Square subway station. But it's much closer to some hotels in the area.
