Comfortable and in a good location

Rooms are comfortable, overall, however, my mattress had the air of being a bit too old and worn out for a place of that caliber. Nights were therefore not too comfortable.

Great Value!

This is an under rate chain. My room was very large and the price of the room was less than $200 per night. The bed was comfortable and the room was modern. And I was there for work, could easily walk to all my meetings with the ideal mid-town location. Great find.

Nice Rooms without a bunch of thrills

Good and Clean. Staff was very friendly which made up for the less than soft towels. Stayed in a suite with a door that closes (For my personal snoring reasons) and it appears this room was not used much -- TV's are good but the furniture is outdated -- The lobby looks great and wish that flavor was carried over into the rooms more. Overall, a decent value for what they charge and it's central location makes it worth it. Room food was quite good!

Excellent Option

Staff was as friendly and helpful as they could be. Location is great, near everything in Midtown, but still in a quieter area. Room was conformable and spacious, which is unusual to hotels in NYC. Already recommended to my co-workers and it will be my first choice every time I get back.

Close to being great

This hotel's location, rooftop bar and in-house restaurant make it a great choice at a great value. Unfortunately, its staff is not 4-star material. From the front desk to the housekeeping, everyone in this hotel needs training or replacing. If you are not a demanding traveler and only staying for a short trip though, its a great value.

every thing was great as IO expect from an Affina hotel. I did business, nothing was missing and it was comprable to all my other experiences. I usually stay at the Dumont, this was also good.
