I enjoyed my stay at the Affinia 50. However let me start by sharing some problems I did encounter. Upon checking in for my 3 night stay, one server was down and delayed my checkin process (30 minute setback so minor issue). After checking in I went to explore the city and when I was leaving my room I noticed a rather large cockroach in the second floor hallway. Let me explain that I saw this to my surprise because the cleanliness of the Affinia 50 (where there is 1 there is 1,000). I did notify the concierge desk (down the hall) and the front desk. Both parties apologized for what happened but I was a little weary now. Being in the service industry I know this can happen. Later that night I received a letter from the GM along with a box of chocolates apologizing for the experience that I encountered.
A few more issues-
The toilet was pretty weak and for no reason it cogged a few times...
The shower light would flick on and off for no apparent reason and there was no direct switch for that light. (room 207)
There was no hair dryer located in the room, I had to call down to guest services (and had me look under the sink, nothing there) she sent one up 30 minutes later.
I know this is a bit of a confusing post but with the location, reasonable pricing and friendly staff The Affinia 50 makes for a nice option if you are staying in Manhattan.
