My husband and I stayed at the holiday inn express from the 5th to the 9th january. The trip had been organised to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Upon arrival at the hotel which we thought was centrally located for restaurants and all the amentities. We found our room to be spacious with an excellent view. We also found in our room a lovely bottle of wine and balloons congratulating us on our anniversary. Which made a lovely start to our trip.
We were based on the 30th floor and had no issues or problems with getting up and down with the lift.
We found breakfast to be tasty and plentiful with a vast selection. We had made a decision that if the breakfast was not up to much we would dine out. However the breakfast exceeded our expectations.
In addition there was complimentary tea and coffee and fruit juices avaliable at anytime of the day which was handy. It saved havibg to use the coffee maker in the room.
I had read about warm cookies avaliable and can confirm that these cookies were in reception during the early evening and were truly lovely.
The hotel is situated between 7th and 8th Avenue and gave plenty of choice for dining. We didn't like time square in the evening as the restaurants were busy and it was mass produced convenience fast food. However just by the hotel is an area called hells kitchen which has numerous restaurants to try out. We tried several and each were as good as each other.
On the day we checked out to return back to the uk we were given the choice of keeping our room for longer or havibg our luggage looked after which allowed us to have an extra day in new York before our flight home.
The hotel arranged our transport back to JFK and it made a lovely surprise to be greeted and taken back to the airport in a limo.
My husband and I would definitely stay with the holiday inn express if we go back to new York but more importantly we will now consider this chain of hotel in other destinations.
Highly recommend the hotel for service, location and exceptional value for money.
Thank you for a brilliant time
