I have never written a review but felt I just had to after staying at this hotel. This was our first trip to New York City and we worked very hard to research the best price, location and amenities. This was a family reunion so we reserved 3 rooms total and each one was a little different from the other. We were traveling from December 26th through December 29th 2006.
This Comfort Inn was adorable because it was a "boutique style" so you didn't feel like you where in a typical cookie cutter chain hotel. It was located on 35th street between 5th and 6th so it was walking distance to the Empire State Building, around the corner from Macy's and many other shops and even had an attached resturant ( with the best pizza I've had in a long time I might add) where you recieved a 15% discount as a guest at the hotel. This was also where the contenential breakfast was served each morning. With four teenages in our group it was enough to fill them up so all we had to buy was a hot dog on the street for lunch and then a nice dinner.
A half a block away was a Starbucks, 24 hour drug store , subway station and deli. Across the street were two irish pubs (not loud) and parking.
Upon arrival our rooms were ready early and we checked right in. There was also a very friendly and helpful bellman at the curb to help us unload. He was also there the day we left to help us load our car.
The rooms were not huge but were very clean with new up to date bedding, new carpet and very comfortable beds. The bathroom was also very clean and adequit for our needs.
It's easy to see you are in an old building when you are there with the old marble and wood staircase and very small eleveators but that really added to the charm of being in NYC!
I am very picky about hotels and I thought this was great. If you are looking for the best value with an ideal location, look no further. This is the place to stay.
