"Look mom, M&M World!"
We usually stay at the Beacon on the UWS, but this time we had points to stay at a Hilton property so we tried the Doubletree Guest Suites instead. Despite the constant stream of people 24/7 outside below, the suite on the 8th floor was a relatively quiet haven from the bustle below. My kids loved being eye level with the giant billboards, and watching the impromptu dramatic performances and masquerading Elmos and Smurfettes below. The highlight of the stay was our proximity to M&M World across the street. It is very conveniently located next to the subway, and easy to get both uptown and downtown. The rooms are very small (not much space to walk around the beds, especially the pull-out once it is opened) but they are very clean and have everything one would need traveling with kids including a sink outside the bathroom and a refrigerator. I would stay there again.
