I don't know what you are looking to be near, but last year my son and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Capitol at Smithsonian. It was a great place and only one block from the greatest of all museums, the Air and Space museum. It's also close to the Capitol.

I'm going back with the whole family this year, so I'm interested in the responses to this thread.

I'm also planning a trip to NYC. Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels/sightseeing? We're thinking of staying in the Times Square/Midtown area.

Holiday Inn Capitol at Smithsonian

We stayed there in the fall of 03. It was a fantastic location for the kids, as it was easy to come and go from the Air & Space museum. I lost count of how many times we went there. That was the perfect "hub" location for what we wanted to do. We went everywhere on foot, heading to the farthest point first, and then working our way back to the hotel.

Plus, it was surprisingly affordable to eat at the hotel, which added to the convenience. Nothing fancy, but with a couple of preteens, we didn't want fancy. The menu was kid-friendly.
