In recent years, we have stayed at the Belvedere on 48th Street. While it is a bit too close to Times Square for our taste, it is within walking distance of our northern and southern destinations and is of pre-war construction, aiding sound control. When built, in the late 1920's, it served the cruise ship piers, mostly now gone, and Madison Garden, since moved to "Penn Station." When new, it bragged of "two windows in every room" and charged $7 for a double with private bath.
