Value for money & excellent customer service
My partner & I arrived late evening on 1 May, 2012 and were greeted warmly by the front desk. Although the hotel only offers buffet breakfast; there is a tea/coffee making facility near reception which is a whole lot easier to make before you retire to your room. There is coffee/tea making facilities in the room as well but we never used it! The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants, 24 hour CVS (supermarket/alcohol/pharmacy), walking distance to Macy's, subway & other NY attractions. A 2-minute walk along 6th Avenue will bring you to a $1.00 per slice pizza parlour if you want something cheap & tasty late at night. The complimentary buffet breakfast is superb; offering continental & hot food and for the person on the run; a pre-packed breakfast which you can pick up at reception! Yes - the hotel is basic but cleanliness, superior customer service and value packed offerings, it would be difficult to stay anywhere else. In fact this hotel set the bar for all the other hotels that we stayed at on our tour of the East Coast and far outclassed the competition. It does not matter what time of the day/night you enter or leave the premises, all the staff at the desk would acknowledge us with a hello, have a great evening or just a smile! It's also great that WIFI is free in your room; but you can also use a computer at no charge in the reception area. I am currently writing this review on our 2nd visit to this hotel and nothing has changed. Would I ever stay here again? Absolutely!
