This is a Hilton-family hotel about four blocks north of Grand Central station in Manhattan, a fantastic location for almost anything - shopping, sightseeing, whatever. If you're going to New York, and you're not sure which hotel to select based on convenience/proximity to a subway station, the Doubletree Metropolitan is a great option. It's about 1 block from the E train at 5lst (or possibly 53rd), check it, and that's the train that's the fastest ride to and from the Air Train and JFK terminals. It's one of the best places to stay if you're looking for easy airport access (and beat the extortionate cab rates to and from there).

Like all NY hotels now, it's a bit expensive at between $300-500/night, but their website sometimes has discounts and good packages, and in many cases you can get breakfast with the room, not a standard feature here in the States. And you can leave luggage there on checkout day for a small fee, so that you can see a few more things before heading out.

500 block of Lexington Avenue, E Train 51st or 53rd street, check the stops/your subway map
