We were looking for really nice place to stay for a couple of nights in downtown Manhattan before embarking on the QM2 to sail to London and I picked the Staybridge Suites primarily on the basis of its TripAdvisor ratings. The only frequent criticism I'll echo is that the breakfast area is simply not big enough for the number of people using it, but the food is good and it's free with the room. The elevators are sometimes criticized, but we were up on level 11 and had NO problems. The hotel is an easy walk to Times Square, other area sites, and the boat dock for the harbor cruises. The neighborhood is not lavish, but it really isn't bad for downtown NYC. Plenty of nice relatively inexpensive restaurants in the area. Jamie the bell captain helped us out with storing our luggage and arranging a limo to the ship in Brooklyn. The room was not huge, but very generous for downtown in a major city. It had a very comfortable king bed, nice lounge and desk chairs. strong free wifi service in the room, and a full kitchen. Everything looked new and was immaculately clean. For $250 bucks a night on Labor Day weekend, it was even a bargain.
