Great Find for Budget Traveller
Being a single mature lady I wanted somewhere central and reasonably priced, which was in a busy(ish) area and where I would not feel afraid to be out after dark.After reading lots of reviews I chose this hotel. It is a small ,old hotel, with the Otis type lift and old fashioned good service from staff. I had booked a single room ( expected a box) and was given a double),the porter ( a lovely man, even older than me) took me to my room. It was warm, cosy, spotlessly clean with a view from my window of the EmpireState building.
Only disadvantage was the lack of kettle or coffee maker, I missed my early cuppa, but there were good delis nearby.No internet facility.
I opted for shared bathroom, bathrooms were spotlessly clean as was the rest of the hotel,pride in the hotel shone from every polished surface.
You have Madison Ave, Park Ave ,5th Avenue within 5 mins walk and yet it was quiet at night, only disturbance was noisy people in next room.
I would certainly stay there again, value was amazing for such a centrally situated hotel.
I had a 7 day Metro pass $29 dollars this is useful for unlimited travel on subways, buses, the Roosevelt Island cablecar,,went as far as Brooklyn with it.
