3 couples, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom
We were three couples looking for an apartment rental in NYC. However, short term apartment rental in New York is not allowed. We stumbled upon reviews for the Marmara on the Upper East Side which is a converted apartment building that offers 1,2, or 3 bedroom apartmotel rooms. We wanted to be able to come back to the room at night, have some cocktails and discuss the days events. This hotel was perfect for that. We each had a bedroom with either a queen or king bed and each bedroom was ensuite with their own bathroom. I must say the beds were extremely comfortable. Perfect for comraderie when wanted or privacy when needed. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. This was apartment living with all the conveniences of a hotel. The 3 bedroom apartments were on the upper floors of 21 or higher and this really allowed for a quiet nights rest. With this hotel being on the UES, it lets you have that neighborhood feel instead of being in the middle of all the tourist action that never stops. It really allowed us to rest and reboot for the following days activites. This hotel is located on 2nd Avenue and this gives you plenty of options for restaurants and shopping. The subway station was only 2 blocks away at Lexington avenue and if you didnt want to walk that the bus stop was on the next block that took you there. I cant say enough about this hotel. When we travel we like to emmerse ourselves in a neighborhood and feel like we are home. This hotel gave you this experience. It was perfect for couples traveling together. You may see some reviews about the construction outside the hotel. This is true, but it does not happen on weekends and it is froom 7-7. However, it never disturbed us and the staff said it was the loudest it had ever been during our stay. This hotel is ideal for a great week in the city.
