Affinia Dumont

Tons of room, extremely comfortable, plenty of amenities, friendly staff. My only complaint is that the wifi is not free

Stayed at this hotel twice recently, July and August. Air conditioner was rather noisy the first time. Asked for a quiet room and got one. Staff courteous and obliging, including maid service. Reasonable pricing as rooms are suites with sofa-beds and kitchens and ample closets. Great for families and when you are not out from morning till midnight. Location cannot be better. Third Avenue is full of restaurants with menus and prices to please every palate and wallet. Subway stops are just a few minutes away. Fifth Avenue shopping, Empire State Bldg, Union Square, Chelsea, East Village are just a short walk away.

Allowed to check-in early. Staff very helpful. Subway very close to hotel, easy to get to Citifield using subway. Very happly with stay.

Hotel check in was effortless and quick. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a couple of requests made of the staff, extra blanket, pillows, restaurant recommendations, and souvenirs and all were handled perfectly. We reserved a junior suite which was very comfortable for one adult and teen, and included a small kitchen that was perfect for leftovers and small meals/snacks. The location is a little of the beaten path which means it feels a little more private and quiet, which we liked. The 33rd street subway, #6 train, is a short walk away (4 or so blocks). We also found that the sightseeing double-decker tours make stops that are within walking distance and so a couple of times were hopped on/off and walked to/from the hotel without incurring another cab fare. There are neighborhood restaurants and delicatessens, but would expect those staying longer that a few days will venture beyond that via cab to find other choices. The fitness center is small, but looks well appointed, but I thought the steam showers were most enjoyable…after 25 minutes of relaxing warm steam bath you are ready for another sightseeing trip.

Staff very courteous and helpful. When we visit New York again, we will come back!

I enjoyed the entire experience. We requested a studio above the 30th floor and facing the Hudson River. Little did we know, it would also give us a wonderful view of the Empire State Building. That was a unexpected treat. The entire sky line was wonderful, day or night. The Barking Dog is the restaurant next to Affinia. Its' food was fresh and they had a nice selection. There was also a deli on one corner (good choice), a convenience store on another (clean), numerous surrounding restaurant, the subway is two short blocks away (the 6 train), and you could hail a cab in two minutes. You could not go wrong when you select Affinia Dumont.

My family & I selected this room because it was near my sister's place. The location is superb because it's close to Macy's, a variety of great restaurants, Murray Hill, etc. The area is quiet, which is hard to find in NYC, and the price is more reasonable compared to popular hotels in Time's Square, for example. There is easy accessibility to the subway from the hotel. One qualm is that there is no pool, but the room was well worth it. We stayed in the Family Room Suite near the top of the building and had a wonderful view of the Hudson River. Bathroom was very nice w/ Aveda products. They have a complementary pillow menu, which was pretty cool. Family room was spacious and a great place to congregate. There was a kitchenette with everything we needed. The "minibar" drinks and food for sale by the hotel in the room were expensive, so we opted to walk across the street and pick up a few things to put in the fridge. I'm not quite sure why the hotel was ranked at #94 in the world or it being ranked #9 in the US by [...]. I've been to outstanding hotels around the world, with luxurious rooms, unparalleled customer service and amenities, and my opinion is that the hotel is good but not that great. So, don't get sucked into the hype. All in all, I thought this was a very good room. My family loved it as well. This semi-luxury hotel is perfect for the traveller who wants a 4-star hotel at a 3-star price. We would definitely stay here again.

I had to call the day of our reservations to increase the number of occupants from 2 adults to 3 adults. I didn't think this was a big deal b/c we had a junior suite reserved. The junior suite has a king-sized bed as well as a pull out sofa bed.When I called, the man I spoke with, [...], I think was his name was rather unfriendly. I would describe his tone as "[*]" This made me a little worried about what I would be in for over the next several days.HOWEVER, once I got there I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone ELSE was amazing! Very friendly, very helpful! The location was great for us. There were some cool restaurants close by. A quick taxi cab ride to the theatre. Not too far from Time Square. Rooms very clean. Tip the housekeeping & they'll take good care of you!I also found the rooms to be a lot cheaper when booking through Orbitz.

Really nice hotel - staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Very nice and quiet area, Subway very close to hotel, every thing you might need very close to hotel.
