YOTEL New York at Times Square West
Slightly further from Times Square than some of these other hotels, the YOTEL New York has "cabins" and not rooms. Already very hip! Yotel started as airport hotels in the UK and the service functions very much like checking in to an airport. You self check in at the lobby terminals, then you can put your luggage on the conveyor belt if you choose. While missing a few of the "usual" hotel room amenities like coffee makers, room service, etc, for the price point, most people, especially European travelers, are very happy with their stays.

Row NYC Hotel
Row NYC (formerly known as Hotel Lincoln and Milford Plaza) went through massive renovations and re-opened in 2014. They offer five levels of guest rooms, each with different city views. Note: Not every room looks like the one in the photo, and it appears much of the renovations went into the hotel common areas and some of the rooms. So check carefully to make sure you are getting a newer room.
