We "heart" NY's Staybridge Suites
Just returned from our 5 night stay at the Staybridge Times Square. We loved this place, the staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchenette was well stocked and although we never cooked a meal, it was great to have a fridge and microwave to heat up leftovers and keep our drinks cold. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of food and although seating was limited we were able to pick up our meals and take them to our room so we could eat in comfort while trying to wake up and feed our teenagers before heading out for the day. The cocktail receptions in the evening were a bonus, we were able to unwind with a glass of wine or beer while we met other friendly visitors before heading out for the night. Our only negative comment was the hotel was located beside a few seedy looking x-rated dvd and liquor stores, (although the parole office was nicely decorated with planter boxes and twinkle lights) but you never felt unsafe. Be sure to head to Restaurant Row on 9th Avenue north of 42nd Street. I'm sure this is one of the reasons the 4 hotels on this block are situated here. This will be the place to be in a few years.
