Stayed at the Affinia 50 for a meeting. It has a great midtown location, very convenient, near Rockefeller Center, Central Park, subway entrance. It is an older building, but nicely decorated, modern style. My room was pleasant, not too noisy (on the weekend), though I was on the third floor. It was very clean and comfortable. Didn't have to worry about climate control--everything worked well and quietly. Minibar and refrigerator in the room, with the usual items for a price. Room service is handled by Mint, an Indian restaurant across the street, and the food was excellent--I actually went in to the restaurant the second day. I ordered the Indian food, but there are other items on the menu as well, if you don't like Indian food (but it didn't look as if there were many selections for small children). Staff was very helpful and pleasant, and the concierge arranged my shuttle back to the airport. Wireless access pricey in the rooms, but free in the club room (lots of people were sitting with me there, working on their laptops). Has a business center in the club room, so I was able to print my boarding pass easily. Breakfast was not included; there is a buffet breakfast in the club room, but I did not eat there. Only two problems: one, there was no coffee maker in the room, which concerned me since I had an early flight out, but when I spoke to the staff at the front desk, they sent one to the room for that night. Otherwise, there is coffee and tea in the club room. Also, the mattress seemed a bit old--one side was dented in, though the other side was fine. In spite of that, I would stay there again, for the atmosphere and convenience.
