If you are in NYC for siteseeing etc the location is good. Walking distance to Times Square, Macys, 5th ave etc
The rooms are big... full size kitchen (not that we used it). There is an awesome deli downstairs on the corner which has everything you could possibly want. Also I had a delicious coffee from Dunkin Doughnuts downstairs (I was surprised!)
Great view of the city. Big bathroom, heaps of wardrobe space.
The beds were VERY comfortable. I wanted to take it home.
Problems: internet access. There is 1 x computer in the lobby and you use your credit card to purchase minutes. Not cheap and VERY slow. The first time we used it, the machine shut down after a couple of minutes and we couldn't get our money back. The Hotel said the computer is supplied by another company and they couldn't help?
Staff: Not very friendly or helpful. Our room key did not work one night and we came back down the reception for assistance. They asked us for i.d and supplied a new key, which also failed to work. They scanned it again and we finally got in. No apology given, which was odd? All we wanted was a simple 'sorry' for the three times we had to travel up and down the lift! I would never have even mentioned this if they had been polite.
Upon checkout we were told the doorman wasn't at work yet so we had no help with our luggage (2 girls with 4 suitcases?) Bummer
In conclusion: I would stay at the Affinia again, as the size of the room was awesome.
