Stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott New York Manhattan / Times Square over the 4 July period in NYC. The hotel is great as it is located in walking distance to Times Square, next to the central bus station and close to the central subway system.
The rooms are cleaned to a high standard, have a tv, radio, however there is no fridge in the room, no biggie as you can walk to many convinence stores/ restaurants/ bars which are very close to the hotel. There is a pharmacy/supermarket very close to hotel as well. And a pizza place at the end of the street with $1- for a big slice of pizza.
Hotel has a gym, free breakfast, which has a wide selection of hot and cold foods , fruits, coffee, cerials etc (get there early to secure a table - especially in peak travel periods), nice foyer area, roof top nightclub/ bar - free entry for guests (countered by overpriced drinks) and has a great view of the city, in basement: vending machines and an ice machine. The hotel has free wifi + free computers + printer to use in foyer area with fast internet access. The hotel also has parking at an adjacent property around US$27- per day, call in advance to book your parking.
The staff in the hotel are all very friendly and the concierge is very knowlegeble of NYC and tours available.
The hotel is a bit over my budget but I was sharing with friends, so I paid less and was ok. If this hotel is in your budjet I would definitely recommend it. Hope this review helps :)
