First trip to NY and beware the sirens! One side of the hotel is above a FIre Station and the fire tenders do go out a lot!!
We loved our studio and balcony. We were at the front of the hotel and found this quieter than the side suite we had the first night. The balcony seemed to block some of the traffic sounds from below.
Hotel is being updated and we heard the workmen in the morning above our room. Didn't bother us but may others.
Yes air conditioning units taped in window to reduce draughts were a 'feature' but we loved the hotel and friendly staff. The bed was really comfy and we appreciated the kitchenette and found a way round no kettle was to just put water in coffee filter to make tea in the morning!! It was all part of the NY experience.
Also a plus was the easy route in from JFK airport.via rail link. Then only a short walk to Affinia from station.
We walked everywhere and the Affinia always welcomed us 'home'. It may be a bit 'tired' in parts but we don't like perfection..we'd rather have frriendliness and quirky!!!
