Pleasantly surprised on first trip to NYC
I was braced for the worst. I heard that rooms are terrible, small and expensive in NYC. My corporate rate was under $200--not sure what this goes for otherwise. I chose a hotel close to Penn Station (34th & 7th). I was able to walk to this hotel no problem (26th between 6th and 7th) from Penn. I had a great view of the Empire State Building. Room small but had all appointments--desk w/ chair, bench for suitcase, king bed, closet, etc. Bathroom small on counter space but nice; big shower. Would definitely stay here again. Staff friendly. Walked up 7th avenue all the way to Central Park (30+ blocks)--through Times Square. This is "Flower District"--good Midtown location. I felt safe.
