We stayed at The Michelangelo for 4 nights in June 06. The place has quality written all over it. From the moment you enter the marble foyer, you know you are somewhere special. It is within 10 minutes walk of Times Square and Theatre District, which is fairly tacky but, if you are seeing a show, that's where you need to be. However, 10 minutes in the opposite direction takes you to beautiful Central Park. The Rockefeller Centre (you must visit Top Of The Rock for the best views of all of Manhattan) and Radio City Music Hall are just around the corner. There are 2 nearby subway stations that take you virtually anywhere in the city. The area itself felt very safe. The rooms are large and well equipped. The bathtub is an experience in itself. The lobby's continental breakfast is more than adequate but the Europa Cafe and Cafe Duke are just yards away if you want something more up to late in the evening. Also. don't miss Heartland Brewery across the street. They brew and serve a number of their own beers and they were excellent. You can get a tray with a small sample of 9 different beers for around 12 dollars. The hotel staff are extremely courteous and helpful. There was only one problem with our stay. On the first night we were in a room at the front of the hotel and we couldn't sleep because of the traffic noise. We asked if we could be moved and were given a room in the interior section of the hotel that was perfectly quiet. New York is a noisy city so, if you need your sleep, ask for an interior room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
