I made a trip to the usa at the end of Nov with Nyc being our first stop - after reading the reviews on here i thought it was going to be a nightmare that i actually rang my tour operator to change but in the end i decided to stick with it because of the most excellent location - it was so central right by madison square garden, victorias secrets, macys etc. all the main attractions you go to nyc for were on the door step. The hotel itself is well old fashioned, we stayed on the 8th floor and it does look like the hotel from the shining and there is a funny smell, but nonetheless we checked in fast and there are lots of lifts so no waiting around. When we got to our room i opened the door to a dingy but very spacious room, 2 double beds so we could dump all the cases on one bed, it was tidy, bedding was all clean, big tv (not that we really watched it) and the bathroom was clean enough with white fluffy towels, the maids came in everyday and changed the towels and made the bed - basically we werent expecting the hilton after all the hotel is only 2* and why go to nyc if you are going to inspect your hotel for every piece of dust. We were out literally all day because all the shops are open till late and we wanted to make the most of it - this hotel will do if your looking for cheap and cheerful. Clean bedding and towels AND A GREAT LOCATION
