My friend and I stayed at the Affinia Dumount in October for 2 weeks. We choose a 1 bedroom suite which gave us plenty of room, along with a small kitchen which we used for breakfast some mornings. The room was big, clean and functional with a view of the Chrysler Building! The kitchen looked a little dated, but you're not in New York to spend time in the kitchen so who cares!
The location of the Affinia is fantastic - right in the heart of Murray Hill which is quite a residential area and that gave us the chance to feel like "real New Yorkers" for a brief moment. The hotel is a few blocks for the Subway and buses across town are right at the front door. The staff were really nice, very helpful and friendly. The concierge was really helpful too, though he does like a bit of a chat.
Our only *very small* gripe would be the lifts are very slow and one broke down for a few days when I was there - thus patience is needed.
All in all a great hotel, great location and would happily stay again. Be sure to check out Penelope Restaurant down the road for a great meal, and the 2nd Avenue Deli is also really close by (along with loads of other restaurants).
