 | Grand Union (34 East 32 Street ): Great Value Hotel

Proximity
The closest things to the Hotel are the Empire State Building on fifth avenue, the 34th street shopping area and Grand Central Station on 42nd street. The nearest subway station is 32nd street but Grand central station is ten blocks away. Penn Station is about two or three blocks west of the hotel.
Room size, bed, condition
The room was sizeable, especially as I’d read reviews about the tiny rooms in NYC.
First impressions were good: a Queen bed with a wooden head-board. A chair and table, a chest of drawers and an armoire that housed a 28” television. All of this was in Dark wood. The décor was old fashioned.
One good thing about a hotel of this price is the fact that it has a private bathroom. And not just any old bathroom but a marble one! Marble floors, marble rooms. All in white and immaculate with towels and soap.
The even better feature is the fridge – yes a fridge in a 2* hotel! small table-top jobbie to make your budget trip even more frugal.
The room also came with air-condition but the regulation range is quite small- basically you get ‘cool’ or ‘a little bit cooler’. Or ‘warm’ or ‘a bit warmer’. The 28” television came with 30 channels.
the first night I couldn’t sleep because of all the traffic outside my room.. However, next morning the reception staff gladly let me change room; In fact he gave me three keys to rooms that were away from the street and let me take my pick.
There was internet access in the small lounge next to the lobby,
There is no restaurant but there is a coffee shop linked to the hotel – I never went there so I can’t comment on it. However, in midtown Manhattan you are never short of places to eat. There is a small supermarket on 34th street so you can stock up your fridge.
All in all, I was impressed by the hotel and the facilities. For my first time in the city the location was spot on. I would recommend it to anyone else though not someone with small children because of the lack of room service and room space.
