Great value for money

by TripAdvisor Member moultonman

We stopped December 9 - 14. After reading many Trip Advisor reviews I decided that The Southgate Towers had consistently above average to good reviews. We were not disapointed. Location is excellent giving easy access by foot or subway to most of the must see or do attractions. On arrival check in was quick and easy. Our room was on the 17th floor and we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. Two king beds, kitchen, lounge area. Bathroom a little small but quite adequate. Only downside to the room was traffic noise at night and windows slightly draughty. Neither was enough to bother us much.
Staff were polite and friendly.Check out was again quickly dealt with.
Did not use Niles bar.We would definitely stay here again if we return to New York.

I recently stayed December 19-23. The hotel was wonderful and Beautifully decorated for christmas. The staff was very helpful and the concierge service was a life saver..thanks again for the tickets to the knicks game. The hotel room was spacious and very clean on the 27th floor. The view of the empire state was emmaculate. I would definitely stay again. A few blocks from Times Square and right next to the Furers...Oh ladies its also a prime area to get those designer bags at not so designer prices. All in all Southgate Tower Suite is a wonderful place to stay. I also want to add that I booked through the hotel site it itself...my reservation was guranteed and i didnt have to pay upfront for my room stay...the hotel also has promotional specials so check them out before you book at a "discounted" site you may come out cheaper...I know I did.

My wife and I stayed in a one bedroom suite for 3 nights over Christmas weekend. We got the room through 'Quikbook' for 160$ a night. This had to be one of the better deals for a suite in New York for that price and for the quality of the accomodations: large,spacious, living room with very comfortable couch, chairs, and a well designed eating area.
The kitchen is a separate room which we found more agreeable. The bedroom was small but the bed itself was extremely comfortable and the lighting in the bedroom was well designed. Bathroom was small but functional, the toilet was pressurized and the water pressure in the shower was impressive. Highly recommended.

Will not stay there again!

I booked a two night stay in a one bedroom suite for $159 a night through their website (after their reservations group tried to sell me the same room over the phone for $199). I chose the Southgate based primarily on the reviews found below.

At check in we were told that the rooms on the upper floors were all smoking rooms and that the hotel was almost full, so we were placed on the 20th floor with no view at all. The room itself was odd: VERY small bathroom and bedroom (as in space for only one person at a time) with a ton of empty space in the "living" room. The room itself was old, the carpets worn, and the furniture was from another era. To turn the heat up or down you had to find a nob on the radiator with a dial that read from 1 to 5.

Our major complaint was the noise level. I now understand what is meant by the "city that never sleeps". We could hear everything, including wether other guests were taking a shower or a bath. A motor above us would run from time to time, and the windows were so old that we could hear street noise from 20 floors up.

I would have rated this hotel lower had it not been for the sympathtic gentleman at check out, although is was frustrating to hear that we could have had a better room when at check in we were told that they were almost full and that this was the best we could get. Stay here if you are a heavy sleeper.

Can't wait to go back!

We stayed at the southgate tower suite for 4 nights just before Christmas. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - the guy on reception went out of his way to find us a great room and we were not disappointed with the fantastic views of the Empire State Building from our windows.What an amazing sight to wake up to. The lobby was decorated beautifully for Christmas, although once you stepped out the lift on your floor it was a little drab as was the room!Saying that, the room was more than adequate for a tourists needs- 2 bathrooms between 4 of us and 2 large comfy beds, it was a little noisey but no more than you'd expect from the city that never sleeps! the hotel was in a great location, walking distance to almost everywhere you'd want to go, Empire State just minutes away, opposite Maddison Square Garden, 2 blocks from Macey's - what more could you want?! I'd have no qualms returning to the Southgate tower when I hopefully return to New York for another visit.

were a family of five and made a reservation at the Affinia Manhattan, a suite, any comments on this hotel, going there on june 16 for 9 days, first time with the family in NYC.

All the Affinia's hotels get great reviews. Here's a link to the tripadvisor.com page where you can see for yourself. I'd recommend that you browse through the Candid Traveler Photos to get an idea of what to expect. And then, phone the hotel directly and see if there are any rooms available that have a particular view you like.

Personally, I'm not crazy about the Penn Station/Madison Square Garden area because it's too commercial. That means a lot of fast-food options and a bit on the gritty side. I much prefer the residential neighborhoods, where you can walk around at all hours exploring the shops, local restaurants and cafes. But it's also easy enough to get around on public transit, and you're very well situated for that.

Enjoy your trip!

Re: Affinia Manhattan

thank you, which hotel would you recomend,where as a family of 5 we could stay for aprox the same price?

Re: Affinia Manhattan

I'm no expert on hotels. Because I live here, I never get to see the guest rooms. I'd recommend you use the search function on tripadvisor.com's NYC forum page, because there have been previous message threads about families looking for accommodations. Of the Affinia group, going just by location, I like the Affinia Dumont and the Affinia 50. I really like the location of the Salisbury, which is a budget hotel in midtown, two blocks from Central Park. The furnishings are a bit dated, but it's clean and the rooms are big by NYC standards.

When you're reading the reviews on tripadvisor, always browse through the Candid Traveler Photos. You can really tell a lot from them.

I've stayed at the Affinia 50 and it was excellent. Very spacious rooms with small kitchenettes, ideal for families. Locations are very central and the standards are very high for the price.

Re: Affinia Manhattan

by eriru

checked the Affinia Gardens, and seems more modern and quieter neighborhood, any one have a promotion code for the Afinnia Hotels?

thanks a lot

Hi!

Is the hotel located somewhere near Maddison Sq Garden, around 33rd/ 34th and 7 Avenue?

I ask because we stayed at a brilliant suite hotel in the affinia group which I know was about to change names a couple of years ago and if it is this one, it was excellent. Big rooms, great staff etc and it was perfectly located literally in the middle of Manhattan next to a subway station so everything is within easy reach.

Hope you enjoy!

Any rooms on the higher floors of this 28-story hotel facing the Empire State & Chrysler buildings have a good view, being just a few blocks away. However, a window in the stairwell on the 28th floor affords any guest a tremendous view of both these classics.

Our price for a studio suite ($119/night plus taxes) through an online travel service was outstanding for the Manhattan location and the quality of the room.
