I picked this Courtyard hotel for a recent weekend getaway to New York City based on its location, price, and good Tripadvisor reviews. I was not disappointed. I had a king bedroom up on the 25th floor. It was enormous by Manhattan standards, comfortable and clean. The AC controls worked great (not always the case in hotel rooms) -- which I especially appreciated after returning damp and shivering and in need of a quick warm-up. The TV had a decent selection of channels and the bathroom was large enough for my needs. Service was friendly and prompt -- for instance, I requested a mini-fridge and it arrived in only a few minutes, delivered with a smile. I peeked in on the fitness room, and it had several cardio machines as well as free weights and a weight machine. Elevators worked well and were always quick to arrive. Wireless Internet was free (hallelujah!) and worked very well.
The location was convenient and the neighborhood had plenty of good restaurants, coffee shops, and stores, including a Duane Reade drugstore next door.
My only complaint was that the bed was very hard. Some people might like this, but I woke up a little bit sore each morning. Otherwise, I had a great experience at this Courtyard and would gladly return some day.
