Plenty of places to stay near Lincoln Center, I would say it depends on budget and what you're looking for. There is a Holiday Inn at 57th bet. 9th and 10th, and the Skyline Hotel on 10th and 50th (if you go to that one, ask for me, Robert at Druids, my local pub across the street). There are a number of smaller hotels around as well, but as a New Yorker, I tend to only notice the big ones, Like the Hilton, etc.
