Great location / Basic comfort.
I went on a trip from Ireland to New York with my daughter at the end March 2012. Pre-booked our first 3 nights in the Fairfield Inn & Suites, New York Manhattan / Fifth Avenue. This hotel is basic, with a small reception area, but ideal for shoppers and sightseers. Macy's, Sephora etc. within a very short walking distance (6 -7 minutes) of this hotel. Staff were nice and friendly - helpful too. Didn't like all the plastic (cups, crockery) at breakfast....awful! but at least breakfast was adequate and included in the rate, as was free internet access, unlike the Roosevelt Hotel which we moved to for the subsequent 4 days of our NY stay.....avoid! The Fairfield Inn & Suites, NY Manhattan / Fifth Avenue is a good place to stay if you want a restful place to sleep at the end of a hectic day - basic level of comfort.
