Our favorite Affinia!
We have, over the course of the last ten years, stayed at the following Affinia brand hotels: Gardens, Benjamin, 50 and Shelburne. We visit NYC at least twice a year and love the convenience of large, spacious rooms, a full kitchen and the lovely service we are accustomed to from the Affinia staff. This was our first visit to the Dumont, as I was intrigued by the Skyline suites promising a view of the Chrysler building! It was a little extra for the suite, but it was awesome. We actually rented three suites; two of which were a little more money as they were skyline suites, but all three of the suites had amazing views. The staff was lovely. We took my son, his girlfriend and my daughter and her friend. The person I spoke with when I called was kind enough to ensure that our three rooms were right next to each other. I can't imagine there is a room in the building that doesnt have great views. My husband and I are architects so we are building freaks, we spent so much time just looking out the windows at the rooftops, balconies and gardens beyond. When we opened our window and looked out, you could look down 34th and see the east river one direction and the Hudson the other. Murray Hill is a wonderful, central neighborhood. Loved the hotel, loved the staff, not one complaint. The only way it could be better is if it were free! We will definitely return.
