Try the Skyline Hotel on W48th and 10th (800-933-1982)... top floor pool and rates are probably better than most... rooms are larger than most older hotels and clean.

If you drive, parking is really CHEAP...and you can walk to Times Square and TKTS if interested.

Note that the website says Children Stay Free...but no age range is quoted. http://www.nyskylinehotel.com/
