Andaz 5th - Fantastic !
3 night stay (and my fifth visit to New York) Hotel was perfect. Location/Room/Facilities/Staff/Service - everything was spot on.
Seriously - you cannot ask for a better location - slap bang in the middle of all Midtown attractions. My room on the 14th floor (king suite) was beautiful - very very spacious/clean and stylish..and that view..wow!
The staff were very friendly and attentative..not affected or aloof like other trendy hotels.
Facilities were great..The Bar Downstairs has a great clubby like vibe (strong drinks and good tapas like food) The Shop was a great place for breakfast - I intended to go for breakfast each morning to other places - but ended up having breakfast all 3 mornings it was so good...and having breakfast with the public library as your view..great!
I was offered a late check out which was really accomodating and my bags were looked after all day which was useful to make full advantage of a late flight and enjoy the city.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough - I would not consider staying anywhere else next time in New York.
