    • I tried on Priceline to pay under $100 for a 2 star or better hotel next to the touristy areas of NYC without much luck. I finally got this hotel in Murray Hill which is a little off the beaten path. The nearest subway stop is Grand Central Station which is a good 3-4 blocks away. However, now that we stayed there I was glad for the quiet of the neighborhood after battling tourists in times square and central park all day. You felt like you were going home rather than a hotel. We had a king size bed and an extra little couch and table in our room and even a little kitchen (thus the 'suites'). That came in handy when we ordered in dinner to our room from a nearby restaurant. We had no problems with the front desk and the doorman was great at hailing cabs for us. I would recommend this hotel.

    No pool, no restaurant, no parking garage, but this is New York, what did you expect? Outstanding charactaristic would be the size of the room - large for NY and the attentiveness of the staff.

    • I have many friends and relatives in the New York metropolitan area, so I visit fairly often. Since my first solo visit in April 2003, the Murray Hill East Suites, which I accidentally discovered through Priceline.com, has been my hotel of choice. Tucked away on a nondescript block in the fairly quiet Murray Hill neighborhood, this all-suite hotel remains a best-kept secret of the well-informed and budget-conscious.
    Though the service tends toward the nonexistent and the building's sole "amenity" is a tiny basement workout facility, the unbelievable size of each suite and incredibly low per-night prices more than compensate for these small drawbacks. For between US$120 and US$200 per night, one is treated to a large living area with tables, couches, and full digital cable, a bedroom, a bathroom with dryer, a kitchenette (utensils included), and more often than not, a porch!
    As an added bonus, the Suites are within walking distance of Midtown, Herald Square, and the East Village. Grand Central Terminal, which includes a major subway station, is located just around the corner.
    Personally, I can't think of abetter deal in Manhatten.

    Though it's not particularly positive or negative, I would label the following characteristic "outstanding", in a "Different and cool" sense: The Murray Hill East is the only hotel I know of which still uses old-fashioned (non digital) keys! :)

    • ROOM WAS WONDERFUL CONSIDERING LACK OF LIVING SPACE IN NYC, THERE WAS A KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM, BOTH SEPARATED FROM THE BEDROOM, LOBBY IS STUCK IN THE LATE 80'S BUT STILL NICE. THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF STREET NOISE BUT AT LEAST CAN GET A ROOM WITH A WINDOW, OH YEAH, THE COUCH WAS A LET-OUT SOFA! SO WONDERFUL. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE IF YOU'RE NOT SUPER HIGH MAINTENANCE. IS RIGHT OFF OF LEX AND CLOSE TO GRAND CENTRAL STATION, DID I MENTION THAT IF YOU GET A ROOM WITH A WINDOW TO THE STREET YOU WILL HAVE A VIEW OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING......AND THE PERSON ACROSS THE STREET'S LIVING ROOM.

    LOTS OF SPACE FOR NYC. CLOSE TO THE CALMER PART OF NYC

    We got this hotel through Priceline for $115 (plus tax and fees it came to $137) for a weekend night. It is a great location, and our one-bedroom suite was spacious, immaculate, and very quiet -- we were on the first floor, which was really easy for getting in and out.

    The service was not as friendly and hospitable as I've come to expect from these smaller, all suite hotels that seem to have gotten more common in the city. We were missing an iron -- having searched in all three of the closets, plus the kitchen (there was a full kitchen!) and bathroom cabinets. When I asked for an iron at the front desk, the clerk rather rudely suggested that I needed to look in the closet. duh. About an hour later, my daughter walked down to the desk to see if we were ever going to see an iron -- the clerk rather rudely snapped at the bellman "Didn't you follow up on that?" I don't know who was the "weak link" there. The bellman did seem to dissapear when we were bringing in our bags, and again when we were leaving and headed out to pick upthe car.

    There was a garage around the corner where 24 hour parking was available for hotel guests at $22 -- a very good deal for NYC.

    Aside from the surly staff, we really liked the suite, and slept like babies after our big night out on the town.

    The price category selection I'm making is based on 2 persons sharing the room...it would probably cost the same for just one, seeing as it was a "Priceline" deal.

    My brother and I spend five days in New York City and we tried this Murray Hill East Suites. We have not regretted our choice at all.
    We satyed in a junior suite. The bedroom is OK and the living has a second bed. Two couples can stay here eaasily.

    The Murray Hill East suites are locazted next to Park Avenue. Small shops and restaurants can be found within a block. When walking 15minutes, you are on Times Square.
    The hotel has older rooms but is very clean.
    The staff is polite and friendly
