Plaza, Waldorf, Mark, Carlyle -- all expensive but worth it
Budget -- Metropolitan on Lexington Ave.
FYI -- The W Times Square has gotten zillions of VERY negative reviews on this forum. I suggest a text search. Without a doubt the better W choice would be the one on Lexington Ave around 49th Street.

DON'T stay in Times Square. It's the worst area of Manhattan; resident New Yorkers avoid it like the plague, and for good reason. The MTV/Disney feel to the area is only slightly less annoying than the crowds of spandex-clad tourists walking like zombies from one cheap souvenir store to another. Visit Times Square if you must (for Broadway shows obviously), but certainly do not stay there.

"Please recommend your favorite clean, safe hotel near theatres, NBC studios, and Rockefeller Center."
For that location, I can heartily recommend the Comfort Inn Midtown, at 129 W46 (between 6 and 7), just a half-block from Times Square. This block has lots of restaurants but doesn't have the craziness that most of Times Square has, yet it's literally a block or two from the TKTS booht, the Times Square Visitors Center, and the heart of the theater district, less than 3 blocks from NBC and Rockefeller Center.
The hotel is entirely nonsmoking, was completely refurbished about 2 years ago, was sparkling clean, the staff were competent and pleasant, and the continental breakfast was above-average. I paid $89 weekdays and $98 weekend nights last week.

We were in NYC last fall. Stayed at the Gorham Hotel just south of Central Park. Easy walking distance to Times Square - Under $200 for a suite - also small refrig. Clean/neat and safe - We took subway everywhere else we couldn't walk like Statute of Liberty ... Even the "parking" for the car - which sat for five days was a little less at the Gorham than at other places. We had a wonderful time - hope you do too!

Check out hospitalitycompany.com
There used to be a lot of threads here re this well-regarded company, but i just did a search and could only find one recent comment. But they offer studio-1 and 2 br apts, very well kept in excellent locations. We were very happy a few years ago with one of the buildings they have at 49th bet 3/Lex.
Good luck!
