Best Marriott Value in Manhattan
The Carlton has become my new favorite hotel in Manhattan. I made at least five stays after it moved to Marriott in 2012 from March to November. I found the Carlton's rates are better than other Manhattan Marriott properties and a much better value and experience - the location on Madison is superb with lots of excellent dining, night spots and shopping.
The hotel restaurant, Millesime, really makes the Carlton hotel sparkle. Millesime is like stepping from Manhattan and into a Parisian brasserie. Chef Laurent's caesar salad is worthy of its acclaim, the head bartender, Jack, is a master mixologist, and the nightly live entertainers performing create an amazingly cool scene. The Happy Hour drink and oyster specials are the best value in this part of town.
The Carlton is ideal for friends, couples and those flying solo who want an affordable indulgence.
