We traveled to NYC just before US Thanksgiving and were shocked to see how much more expensive the hotels were when compared with the summer time. A friend had recently stayed at the Affinia Shelburne and recommended it for both its mid-town location and value.
We found that the hotel was exactly as we expected. the rooms were a good size and very well lit - which was great since so many hotel rooms and bathrooms are too dimly lit!
we asked for feather pillows and a quiet room location when we reserved and got both! Bathrobes were available on request. the room was quiet and the bed comfortable. the water pressure was great.
The staff were all cheerful and greeted us - a good sign.
There was no iPod docking station - which would have been nice to have.
We would stay there again. it is not a luxury hotel but they do not charge luxury prices. We thought we got our money's worth +++.
