Comfort Inn Manhattan
I am so glad we booked this hotel. We were a block away from the Empire state building, Macys. and also close to Broadway / Times square. Three friends and I flew out on the Thursday following Superstorm Sandy. It was a real comfort to be able to check out the hotels facebook page and be able read that the hotel was open, had power and staff! We shared a double double room which was big enough for four ladies with luggage / purchases! After a long day walking it was with relief that we climbed into beds that can only be described as HEAVEN. It was like sleeping on a cloud. No wonder they call it the comfort inn. Our Virgin rep treated us to a cooked breakfast which was lovely. Otherwise the hotel offered continental included in the price of our room. We also enjoyed a very nice lunch on our last day. The lobby had free tea and coffee which we took back to our room. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room, but we did have an iron / board, hairdryer and free safety deposit box. We had free wifi which can only be described as painful. I dont know whether this was because of the storm or if it is usually hit or miss with connectivity. We used Macy's free wifi to stay in touch with family using facetime on an ipod touch. The staff were all really friendly and i would definately go back to the comfort inn again.
