Ideal location for sightseeing
We stayed at the Skyline from 21.03 to 25.03. The room was a superior with two double beds, was a little dated but clean and an excellent size. Staff were really helpful especially when we had trouble contacting home and again when our transfer didn't arrive to take us to the airport.
The location was excellent. It's only a few minutes to Time Square, Top of the Rock, Central Park and to the pier for the water taxi. We booked a table for The View revolving restaurant at the Marriott Hotel in Times Square via Open Table App and it was amazing. It was $80 for 3 courses, which isn't too bad, but it was worth it! After our meal we went to the Top of the rock and there was no que, it was around 11pm and we took some great nighttime shots.
I've no plans to return to NYC, but if I did, I would certainly stay here again. Hopefully the whole hotel will be renovated by then.
