Great Deal in Harlem!
Have just returned from quick trip to New York City where I stayed at the Aloft Harlem. The hotel is quite new and therefore everything seems to be shiny and clean. The staff are very friendly and very helpful and the rooms and furnishings are modern but simple. Although it seems to be a bit of a distance from the major attractions of Manhattan it is really only minutes away from the action by subway. Also, if flying in and out of Laguardia Airport, the M60 bus runs from 125th St (just steps away from the hotel) to the airport and is very convenient. Although I never felt unsafe in the area, if you are returning to the hotel late at night it seems a bit desolate. It also seems as though there are not an abundance of cabs available to wave down in this area at any time of day . I got a fantastic deal on the room so if the same rate were available, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this property again.
