The up-sides:
The Hotel 373 is on 5th Avenue just a block north of the Empire State Building. It's a great central location with all the sights just a walk, bus or cheap cab ride away.
The hotel was great value and my wife and I agreed had the most comfortable hotel beds we'd ever slept in, anywhere. I never sleep the first night in a hotel and I was spark out almost as soon as I hit the pillow.
The room was spotless and the towels and bed changed daily - even though we'd have been happy if they hadn't been.
The down-sides:
The rooms are seriously TINY with a miniscule recess in the wall which serves as a wardrobe and shelves. We were there for 5 nights and it was cold so we packed sweaters etc. Most clothes have to stay in the case and there's little room for that. Coats have to go on the back of the chair which we couldn't push under the desk as that was where one suitcase went.
The AC unit/heater is in the room on the wall under the window and is very noisy. Luckily being a small room we didn't need it on through the night otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep. There was also a fair amount of noise from the street and we were on the 6th floor.
The hotel has no public space other than a single chair in the lobby. Breakfast has to be eaten out and there is a Starbucks attached but if it's busy you will have to stand or venture further afield.
All in all a firm recommend for a lone traveller or for a couple for a night or two but after that the lack of space really does become apparent.
