“A great choice 15 minutes walk away from the UN building”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2012

Finding a good hotel at a decent rate in New York is often a challenge. The Murray Hill East Suites is exactly what we were looking for. Walking distance to the UN, comfortable spacious suite room with a small kitchen and a cosy living room and very friendly staff. Internet is free in the lobby but there is a charge to use it in the room. We had a few internet disruptions during our stay but not too long. We highly recommend this hotel.

“good stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 29, 2012

Nice place to stay, just a bit old but very clean. Good location; supermarket around the corner (D’Agostino on 3rd Av 38 St), 3 blocks away from Grand Central Station, 4 to the Public Library. Chrysler Building also 3 blocks away, there is a Gap Store on the 3rd Av and 42 St; 3 blocks from the hotel. Friendly Staff. Stayed last year, one bedroom + living room + full kitchen. They DO NOT turn the AC on till the 14th of May. Thought they give you an extra fan upon request.

“Pound for pound, I'd say good value vs our requirements/expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2012

Look, for this money on New Year's Eve a few blocks from Times Square, we felt this was fine. No, it's not a luxury residence, nor is it 'big on service'. It's functional and it's inexpensive, so for the purposes of acting as a 2-day base for shopping and dining out, it was absolutely ideal.

I booked on Hotwire (3* Times Square Area). The location & descriptions were typically slightly embellished, but genuinely I think it met, rather than exceeded or missed my expectations. Costs to me as follows, bearing in mind it was for 31st December and 01 January:

Rate per night: $234.00 / Nights: 2 / Rooms: 1 / Taxes: $45.96 / Occupancy tax: $32.44 / Fees: $15.88 / Subtotal: $562.27 / Trip total: $562.27

I haven't posted photos because the ones published are all pretty accurate and if you remove the emotional descriptions (both good and bad), then the images pretty much speak for themselves. We didn't have peeling paint around the room, nor did we feel it was unclean inside. It was just very basic and outdated. As I say, for our purposes, that really didn't matter. Had we planned on staying in NYC for longer than 2 days, or intended using the room as anything more than somewhere to store our belongings and to sleep, then probably we'd have picked something more than a 3* anyway. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to do so (and yes, we know we're fortunate in that regard), so to try to remain objective about Murray Hill East I'd say it was absolutely fine. Not great, not terrible - 'fit for purpose', if your purpose is in line with ours.

For reference, we were given a street-facing room. Not ideal on NYE, especially because the only way to reduce the temperature was to open the window, but compared to the Waldorf Astoria 10 days later (reviewed separately if you're interested in that one), it was not something which bothered us unduly.

For any date other than NYE and NYD, I would be miffed at paying these prices for this level of accommodation, but we know NYC hotels well enough and neither the Hilton, Hyatt, W nor Waldorf would have merited the >$450/night + taxes they were demanding (for our purposes on this occasion), at this time of the year.

Hope that helps?

“Roomy, reasonable, and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2012

My partner and I spent a night at the Murray Hill East Suites and were thrilled with the size of the suite, especially considering the reasonable rate. Cleanliness is, of course, important and the hotel definitely passed the test. The staff and doorman were helpful, courteous, and friendly. We'll be staying there again in mid-February.

“Extra Tax Charged!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2012

We stayed in the murray hill suites over the thanksgiving period, Family of 4. We found the room very spacious,clean and comfartable. One thing i would just like to ask other guests is when we arrived we were asked to produce a credit card which would only be used as security for the room. When I got home and recived my credit card bill i had a 45 dollar charge added to my bill from the hotel. I then called the hotel and was told there is a 7.50 dollar per night tax on each room, the travel agent told me it was all inclusive but the hotel said otherwise. has anyone else experienced this? our experience otherwise was very good I just found this to be quite a bit under handed as we were never informed about these extra taxes.
