Following up on my previous post about the Sheraton New York , I visited the Sheraton's sister property, the Manhattan at Times Square located just across the street. As compared to the Sheraton, the Manhattan at Times Square is less expensive, and though the decor in the rooms is considerably less luxurious than the Sheraton, the hotel loses nothing in comfort and atmosphere. Like the Sheraton, the Manhattan at Times Square offers breakfast in its restaurant Russo's, located just off the lobby on the ground floor. The lobby itself also includes a business center with internet-enabled computers for guest use.

The Manhattan at Times Square offers both king-bedded and two double-bedded rooms, both types available upon request. The rooms themselves are a bit sparsely decorated as compared to the Sheraton, but everything still looks comfortable, and suitable for someone to spend a little less on their lodgings in New York and more on something out in the great wide city.

One thing the Manhattan at Times Square has over the Sheraton is its rooftop pool. A fitness center is also available, just as in the Sheraton, but without the additional cost.

From there, I traveled across town away from Times Square and past Grand Central Station to the location of the Helmsley, soon to be Westin New York Grand Central Station. As a recently acquired Starwood property, the Helmsley underwent a $65-million renovation, and is set to be rebranded into a Westin as of summer 2012. As such, the hotel itself is still being tinkered on, but my guide took me to see all of the newly finished rooms.

The Helmsley is priced at a higher rate than the Sheraton, and it shows in the room decor. King beds as well as double-doubles are available upon request.

Breakfast is also available at Leona's downstairs, off from the main lobby and business center.

Taken all together, the Sheraton, Manhattan at Times Square, and the Helmsley offer different New York experiences, but all have a solidly Starwood flare. It's clear how they are owned by the same company, but at the same time, offer something for everyone on different budgets.
