Affinia Manhattan New York

I stayed here when I was displaced from my home due to the hurricane. The hotel room was very nice. However the gas was not working and did not work in my entire 8 day stay. The elevators went down twice while we there also. This hotel actually kind of worries me. There is no formality here; no emotion; no comfort from the staff. Just very cold. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE can walk into this hotel and take the elevator up. No one coordinates with one another, either. Literally besides the comfortable room this hotel is more like a 2 star. Which is a shame because it has all the makings to be a four star. Besides Norva, no one on the staff was remotely nice or accommodating.

The room was large and had a nice office nook. Cleaning was regular, on time, and thorough. The lighting in the room and bath wasn't quite enough but it was better than most hotel. For some, being near Penn Station might be a hassle because of the constant traffic of people flowing around the area.

Hotel location was perfect - walking distance to my husband's event at the Javits Center and to the subway, which I took to meet friends. Many eating options nearby. Across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Hotel staff were excellent, from check in, to doorman working hard to find taxis, to bellhop arranging for our suitcase to be held after checkout and picked up later in the day. Up to date room with flat screen TV, iron & ironing board, and hair dryer. We would definitely stay again.

I received an upgrade, and could not have beeen happier

From what I understand, the rooms that have been updated are quite lovely. However, I was placed in an unrenovated room directly over 7th avenue and it sounded as if I was standing on the street corner. It was also much smaller and much dingier than other rooms in the hotel so book cautiously. I am a frequent traveler and am in NY often so I mean these comments even within the context of a Manhattan hotel. Considering the price I paid, I was very disappointed and will never use this hotel again.

good location, clean solid rooms. Baggage check staff is extremely nice & pleasant.

My son and I enjoyed our stay at Affinia mainly for the great location. Penn Station is right across the street and from there we can take subways and trains to many locations. The staff was friendly. Another plus is complimentary internet wifi in the lobby. Many guests had complained about the price to get access in the rooms, so Affinia now provides free wifi in the lobby for all guests. I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel suite was very comfortable and the staff could not have been more helpful. Will definitely come back.

The room included a good size kitchen and a very large living area, the bedroom was nearly filled by the bed, which was very comfortable. Large modern TVs in living room and bedroom, lots of wardrobe storage. The rooms had a clean modern feel to them The only downside was the size of the bathrooms, yes 2 bathrooms! Very small, but manageable The hotel was generally in good condition with helpful and friendly staff.

Hotel is pleasant, clean and well placed for Times Square, Empire State Building, Central Park and all other Midtown attractions. However, this is an old hotel and whilst our room was large and has recently been redecorated, it was very dark. We only had a very small window, half of which was taken up by the air conditioning unit and you needed to have the lights on constantly to be able to see. Having said that it was only a place to rest and it did not spoil our stay. However, the website pictures show the rooms as light and airy, which is not a true reflection and if you are looking for a room with a view, the Affinia Manhattan is not for you.
