We stayed at the Salisbury for 3 nights in a suite. The suite was enormous - I'm guessing it was formerly an apartment. It had a large entryway with a kitchenette (fridge, microwave and sink), a large living room with a desk, armchairs, coffee table, pullout sofa and flatscreen tv and a separate bedroom with a very comfortable king bed and another flatscreen tv. The bathroom was adequate, and the suite had 4 large closets. Yes, the decor is dated, but the suite was very clean. Honestly, I hope that they don't upgrade the decor because this hotel is such a gem at this price point. It was so nice to be able to spread out and not be on top of each other as I have been in past NY hotel stays. The location is fantastic - a subway station at each end of the block, but also walking distance to so many sites (Central Park, 5th Ave, Times Square, Rock Ctr, etc.). Conveniences are all around - a large Duane Reade on the corner and several groceries within a block, Starbucks around the corner and across the street, and excellent Italian at Angelos a few doors down. We had no problems with the staff or the elevators. The only downsides: a/c was noisy (the room was a little stuffy so we turned it on) and construction down the street woke us up on Saturday morning (no noise on Sunday). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Salisbury.
