Shopping ester weekend at the STAY
We stayed at theSTAY hotel over the Eastern weekend and I must say that we where positively surprised by the hotel.
I had read a lot of reviews regarding the hotel so I was not convinced before I arrived, but...
The lobby area was very nice, the hotel room was clean both bedroom and bathroom.
We had a large king-size room and that (as I understood from other reviews) is needed. Our kingsized room had sufficient space for a couple (but not that much more). Normally the rooms in NY is not larger than this..
And I know there are a lot of comments about the elevator, and YES they are very slow but it should not reduce the total rating of a hotel..
So why do we not give it a 5* (excellent) rating here on tripadvisor.. 
... because it is not a five star hotel.. And you do not pay the price of a five star hotel..
But the relation value per price is very good.. You get a VERY good value for the money but make sure to order a large king size room and ask for for a room on an upper level (We stayed on 7th floor and we had "no" noice at all)..
We would definitely recommend this hotel (at least if they got the same room as we did)..
