Each hotel will offer slightly different accomodation options/sizes so that would be a factor. Different hotels will have different bed arrangements. You have to tell us what%26#39;s most important to you.





%26gt;Kitchen?



%26gt;Space ? (do you want 2 separate bedrooms or separate living room/bedroom?)



%26gt;bed size/configuration? 2 doubles? queens? bed and sofabed?





The Courtyard Midtown east and the Metro don%26#39;t have kitchens in the rooms/suites as far as I know. A kitchen comes in handy with a 3 yr. old.





The Metro is the only one that has a family suite with 2 attached bedrooms (no living room or kitchen)one with king bed, the other with 2 twins so the kids get their own beds in a separate room from you vs. sharing a bed/sofabed. But you may or may not be considering that option.





The Eastgate Tower is not as nice as the others (decor is tired) but may offer best value for money.





I don%26#39;t know that any of these are particularly known for their views. There are some views from higher floors at Affinia 50, but that%26#39;s not guaranteed. The Affinia Dumont might be another worth considering, part of the same group, some rooms with 2 queen beds and some rooms with views of the Empire state building.

I think the Eastgare Tower is too long a walk to the subway, especially with a 3-year-old. YOu of course could do bus-to-subway, but in my opinon that gets tedious.




Can only comment on Hotel Metro - have stayed here twice previously and will be going again in June. Found it to be a great location close to Maceys and Empire State Building and subway. Have had a double room before and the family suite when we were travelling with 2 kids - a lovely large room - would have been a great view if we were on a higher floor as we were facing ESB. Also has a great complimentary breakfast. Cannot praise it highly enough
