Just back from the Affinia - great 3 night stay!
Having been concerned about complaints of street noise on this site we had emailed Amy, the front desk manager who has responded to negative reviews here before, to request a quiet room on a high floor.
Arriving tired after a difficult journey we found we not only had a room on the 27th floor but had been upgraded from a studio suite to a one bedroom - large sitting room and bedroom with a HUGE bed. Ok, so the decor is a little tired (though spotlessly clean) but with an amazing clear view of Empire State Building out of one side and open views to downtown out the other, we had better things to look at than wallpaper.
We had a personal note from Amy in the room and she called during our stay to make sure everything was ok - superb service!

This property was wonderful. Directly across from Penn Station, it couldn't have been more convenient. They even have rooms that have a view of the Empire State building. We only stayed one night, but the staff were pleasant and helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the room service menu was relatively inexpensive. The Jr Suite had a small kitchenette, which made it nice when havign breakfast in the morning. They even have a trendy bar attached to the property which is open until 2am. I would recommend this to family and friends.

When I arrived at this hotel even though I had booked a single room I was upgraded to a suite which had two queen beds and a kitchen off it. It was on the seventh floor which although a bit noisy due to the fire station round the corner was not enough to keep me from my sleep. There was no view from my room but I was out all the time seeing the city so much I didn't need one. The location just opposite Madison Square gardens and Penn station couldn't have been better. Macy's was literally two blocks away about 5 mins walk. Overall the staff were very helpful and I had a great time in the hotel.

Stayed there for a weekend with the wife in Feb 2008 and both the rooms and location were faultless.

5 minutes walk from Times Square/Empire State Building and Macys is right round the corner if paying rip off prices for shopping is your thing.

Rooms were massive with its own kitchenette with massive fridge, cooker, microwave, sink and coffee maker.

Bathroom was small but well furnished and the Aveda products were a nice touch.

Comfy beds with the choice of about 7 pillows and the front desk service/concierge waas very helpfull.

Excelent place to stay that wont break the bank.
