I had never stayed here, and in searching the Marriott website, saw that there was a rate of $203., if cancelled by the day before. This is haf the price of the typical Manhattand full price room, especially booked with short notice. The hotel is ideally located, a few blocks from Times Square, Grand Central, etc., but far enough away to be quiter and calmer. The front desk staff was friendly, and there is a concierge, almost a necessity in NY, who was helpful and knowledgeable. The room was spacious (you might forget you were in Manhattan) and modern. Only the expected hotel noises of a toilet flushing, etc. The wireless internet was among the speediest that I have found in a hotel. Paul Mitchell toiletries. An added bonus was the free continental breakfast. Cereal, yogurt, fruit, bread and pastries, perfect, if a bit crowded.
I can't imagine that this is the usual price, but in any case I will be back!
