It’s not easy to find a reasonable priced decent room with en-suite bathroom in Manhattan. Therefore I felt happy when I found this place which I think it’s a good option if your wish is to sleep in the Big Apple.
The location is good and the area is safe. Subway line 1 has one stop at 103rd Street and another one at 110th Street, so both stations on Broadway are very close to 107th Street -a nice street by the way- where the hotel is.
This area in the Upper West Side contains also many small businesses, cafes and restaurants (we tried, f.ex., “Tropical Sensation”, in Amsterdam Av. between 106th Street and 107th Street, “Mama’s Pizzeria” on the corner between Amsterdam Av. and 106th Street, and we heard good reports of “The Manchester Diner”, on the corner between Broadway and 108th Street).
Concerning our stay, we have to say that although we had booked a Superior Two room, they gave us a Superior One in the 6th floor. So we went down to the front desk, we explained the situation and then they offered us the possibility to stay in room #109 which is in the Ground Floor beside reception but which I believe to be a Deluxe Double room (I’m attaching some pictures). So we had a look, we liked it (because it has 2 beds and an en-suite bathroom) and we stayed here without paying more than what a Superior Two room costs.
Room #109 has 2 comfortable beds, a very small bathroom, a flat screen TV, air conditioning and 2 windows facing the street’s sidewalk (fortunately 107th street is not busy, so it is quiet enough). Both the room and the bathroom were very clean and were also cleaned daily, so we value positively this place although there is no breakfast, no guest computer and the staff doesn’t seem to be very enthusiastic.
