Agata the housekeeper was tremendous!
We recently had a wonderful stay at Affinia Manhattan. The room was beautiful, modern, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was tiny but clean. Love, love, LOVE the mini kitchen with refrigerator and utensils. So convenient to keep cold water and treats in the room. The location of this hotel is really great as it is across the street from Madison Square Garden and a subway station. It is also a short walk to the iconic Macy's and to Times Square. There is a Whole Foods a few blocks away also. We did notice outside noise with a fire station nearby but hey...this is New York and the city does not sleep! One of the most memorable treats was "our" housekeeper Agata. She was always present during the day, and one of the warmest and most personable people at the hotel. She catered to our needs and always asked if we needed anything. She was absolutely lovely and really made our stay feel a little more personable. When you are traveling to a city where you don't know anyone, this kind of personal connection makes you feel at home. She is a jewel and treasure for Affinia Manhattan. Another little treat at the hotel, is the ice cold lemon or orange water that waits for you on the reception counter. We were not used to the heat and humidity in New York and after long days of walking and sight-seeing, it was a very welcoming treat. I would stay here again!
