We had our second stay at the Affinia 50 and again were not disappointed. We arrived after a very long journey from Sydney in the early evening and were greeted by friendly desk staff and immediately headed to our room. We were very pleased to find a large studio room facing third avenue on the ninth floor. We had a small kitchen for storing leftovers and making coffee, a huge room by New York standards and a modern bathroom. The beds and furniture were very comfortable and I enjoyed the swedish memory foam pillow from the pillow menu. The room was cleaned and serviced daily to a good standard and our Aveda products were always replenished. We were even given a complimentary bottle of wine. The hotel was put to the test when we awoke to no hot water one morning. The situation was swiftly rectified by allowing us to shower in the room next door and the water was fixed when we returned to the room in the afternoon. When we were contacted by the hotel after our stay for feedback, I mentioned the hot water situation and we have been offered a free upgrade on our next stay.
The hotel is in an excellent location, near the subway, buses, a deli, McDonalds, Starbucks, excellent bagels at Ess a bagel, a Duane Reed etc. There also plenty of good restaurants on 2nd Ave. It is also within easy walking distance to Rockerfellar centre and other midtown attractions.
I highly reccommend this hotel to others and plan to stay again on my next visit to New Yrok.
