When travelling we do have certain expectations, and the Avalon either met or exceeded them in every way. Clean? Spotless. Comfy bed? Divine. Friendly staff? Absolutely. We do not really need much, but all our interactions with anyone who worked there were friendly and helpful. The room faced the street, which was not a problem. Yes, there are city sounds,... More

Comfortable hotel, spacious room, nice staff. A little bit old-fashioned decoration, but nice atmosphere. Ask for a room in higher floor to limit the noise of the street and benefit from more light.Location completed on the 5th avenue and in 3 mn of the Empire State Building.
