Stayed at London NYC on 54th and 8th a few times. The accessible room we had on the 14th floor was huge. Great for families. 2 queen beds, a separate living room with space for a roll-away cot, “walk-in” closet are also big enough for a roll-away cot and a spacious bathroom with roll-in shower. I thought the rates were moderate.
Excellent value for the amount of space.
Good location for shows, shopping, etc.

NYC is surprisingly wheelchair unfriendly. Many of the sores and restaurants are not wheelchair accessible-they have a small stoop at the entrance. Many of your larger and newer attractions are wheelchair friendly.

Be careful riding the subway. Not all of the stops are handicapped accessible and personel are rarely around to help. If you get off at the wrong stop, you may have trouble getting back on.

I have used wheelchair Getawaways of New Jersey for rental van in NYC. Rental van was fine, but do not count on 24 hour emergency assistance.

I’ve ridden SuperShuttle to and fro JFK. I am a manual chair user and made the reservation online. The vans I’ve experienced had either a side or rear lift and should be able to accommodate power chairs and several passengers. When arriving at JFK on a domestic flight, if the driver is not waiting for you, there are phones that will allow you to reach a dispatcher and you’ll be placed on the next available van.

Despite the ADA, many restaurants and stores, especially in neighborhoods not as frequently visited by tourists, are not accessible. Check with the place before going. Also, many restaurants that are accessible do not have accessible restrooms.

At bus stops that service multiple lines, you will need to flag down the driver to make sure he knows you’re waiting for his bus and initiates the ramp/lift.
