My new favorite Marriott hotel in NYC
I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott, located on 40st for four nights with my daughter in April- and what a great experience! I have also stayed at the Marriott Marquis and the Marriott on Lexington, and in terms of location, value and overall experience- i MUCH prefer this hotel and will make this my go-to hotel in NYC from now on. Here is why-
1. Location- it is closest to the Lincoln tunnel so entry into and out of NYC is great! Most other hotels you can easily add 30 -45 minutes more to across town. Loved that!
2. Location- Once you get there- park your car and forget it- the hotel is within 2-3 blocks of all the NYC subway lines that can take you to the East side, up or down town- great!
3. Location- Easy walk to many attractions- Time Square/Rockfeller Center/NYC Library and some of the theaters- and yet the madness and frenetic pace of Time Square is not right outside your hotel door.
4. Room, amenities, service- Comfortable and well appointed room, nice size bed, decent flat panel TV and attentive housekeeping staff. I asked for a shower cap and extra towels and received both promptly
5. Decent breakfast- buffet or off the menu
6. Great cocktails and happy hour at sister Marriott on 39th street!
7. Price
In my book- all of this equals VALUE- need i say more!?
