Great Location
My husband & I recently spent a long weekend in NY. Being the family travel arranger, I researched on the internet & found this offering on Expedia.ca . My husband had never been to NYC and I haven't been there for 20 years, so we had to depend on opinions like these. The price was right (well not cheap--but cheaper than most of the others) and the reviews were encouraging. Well, we were not disappointed. In fact it was better than expected. We had a regular queen room (not a sutie) and the room was twice as large as the Sheraton room where I stayed 20 years ago. The rooms are clean, and the service is polite and satisfactory. They offer the usual soaps, shampoo & things, including a little shoe cleaner and sewing kit. (Don't take this for granted - once stayed at a 4-star in Massachusetts and had to go for a drive to buy shampoo). They location is the best- across the street from Carnagie Hall, two subway stations within a block and others nearby, two blocks from Central Park South, and maybe a 10 minute walk to Times Square. Also close the MOMA and walkable or very close to other museums.
Unique Quality: The offer a "continental" breakfast buffet for $3 which was adequate for us. If you need more than toast, sweet roll or cereal and coffee in the morning, about two blocks around the corner from the hotel are the world-famous Carnagie Deli and Stage Deli. Warning-unless you have the suite with a fridge in your room, order one sandwich for 2 people and share. these are huge portions. If you expect to rent X rated films in your room, this is not the hotel for you as this hotel is owned by the Baptist Church next door and they are not offered. But with so much to do in New York, you won't miss them. Bottom line: It is a clean, non-frills hotel, reasonably price for midtown New York, in a central area near to everything. I recommend it .
