We booked months in advance, and are grateful that we called to make our booking, due to staying over 7 nights the booking staff were able to take $100 a night off the price of our suite!
We stayed in a two bedroom suite on the 25th floor and we were not disappointed. Plenty of room for the three of us, having two bathrooms was so helpful. Staff were always pleasant and helpful, that being said we didn't make much use of the concierge service as we had done a bunch of pre-planning. Times Square is an easy 15 minute walk, subway was 2-3 minutes away and Madison Square Garden was across the street. For us it was the perfect base to explore from.
I only have two things that I wasn't 100% happy with, one is the wifi provided by the hotel is $15 odd a night or a reduced rate for the week. What they don't tell you is that this is per service, not per room. So as we had a laptop and an Ipad we would of had to pay twice.
The second thing is that hotel doesn't list anywhere that they have a laundry room onsite. I had to call guest services and ask, then when I went looking for it there is no signage so it turned into a quest to find it. Other then that I can not fault this hotel.
Also no street noise (aside from emergency vehicles) and no noise from other rooms!

This visit was a good experience and I've kept it secret until now.
A brief visit to New York by the two of us was made in late March of 2011.
We have stayed with the Affinia Group before and know that there is good value always.
Arrival was on a very very cold day, the hotel warmth was appreciated.
Staying on the 16th in a room near the lift doors we thought that noise would have been a problem.. Nothing of the sort did happen
The room and accompanying kitchen and bathroom areas were clean and tidy. However, the lighting in the bedroom was poor and was not condusive to reading.
We enjoyed a meal in the restaurant in.the lower ground floor and whilst there we were made aware that Rod Stewart was playing in Madison Square Gardens across the road. What convenience when the weather was so cold outside.
It was a very enjoyable trip to NYC.

We stayed in a fifth floor double room for three nights over the Presidents Day long weekend. Very convenient to Penn Station and in the mid-town area, which is why we chose it.

Room was clean and the bathroom was bigger than I'd expected. We'd heard how small the NYC hotel rooms can be so we were pleasantly surprised.

The walls are thin but, as we walked our butts all over town, we were too tired to care! We were out by 0730 and not back until around midnight so we were hardly there at all. We heard sirens one night, but it's a big, big city, so noise is to be expected.

We have recommended this hotel to friends and would stay here again.

I had an excellent 10 days vacation, when I was an Affinia's Manhattan guest.
Everything was great ! I really , would like to give my very special thank to ROZALYN,that works in the front desk. She is very kind, very polite and very efficient employee.
