4. Great location, great price by New York standards (we have been before and this hotel is our favourite so far) It is good for both mid/lower Manhatten and Empire State (just round the corner) plus easy reach to Times Square etc. We were travelling with our teenage sons and had two rooms, both were really clean (not really large - in fact our room was quite small and hadn't go a view but not many places have unless you want to go into a higher price bracket) the rooms are well cared for (even little touches like leaving chocolates on your pillow at night and lovely Aveda toilet products) and the staff were wonderful.
