Mid town Manhattan
Stayed here for 4 nights for my first ever visit to New York. The hotel is an iconic art deco style, it is very centrally located, handy for the shops on 34th street, Times Square and Broadway, Empire State building and central for any other part of the metropolis. Metro is right by the hotel.
The room was very comfortable and clean, bathroom a little small. Despite being right in the heart of the city, it was really quiet. Free wifi. The staff were helpful, though telling us we were getting an upgrade to a superior room was just not true, we got the room we booked and paid for.
On the ground floor is the TikTok diner - everything an american diner should be.
New York is just as expected, it's like stepping on to a movie set, with all the skyscrapers, yellow cabs and grid style streets. Really glad I visited, but honestly, I prefer Europe.
