I got that hotel through
http://www.hotelconxions.com for 150 night.
Very close to Times Square (about 200 yards from TKTS booth)
their website is
http://www.edisonhotelnyc.com It is not unreal but is a nice place for the money. Very clean and good staff. Not a lot of bells and whistles (eg, you have to call for a hair dryer but you can get one, same for iron, etc.)
I have also stayed at the Doubletree which is very nice and has the bells, is similarly located, but costs more than twice as much money per night.
For the savings, I would say use the Edison.
However, if you have a family, stay at Doubletree as you essentially get 2 bedrooms since the outer living area has a nice foldout couch. You can stay there and be in 1 room with your kids for safety. And the cost is close to 2 rooms at a place like the Edison. You only have one bathroom though but w kids it should not matter.
