Affinia Shelburne New York

I was pleasantly surprised, satisfied and consider returning again.

The lobby was small but cheerful with the comings-and-goings of youngish European and Asian tourists. The lobby staff were courteous. The elevators were a bit slow. My room was quiet; as a woman traveling alone I felt safe. The room was comfortable, with nice linens; the toiletries and bathroom were more upscale than is typical of the chain accommodations where I usually stay when traveling around in suburbs. My room had a rear window over a rooftop and behind a wall --- absolutely no view, though better than an air shaft. With Grand Central Station just five blocks away, this location is convenient to transportation and NYC sights. I would definitely stay there again and that is certainly a recommendation because I had to spend the weekend in New York on a sad errand. No doubt if I had been at the Affinia on a pleasure trip my memories would be even warmer.

This hotel is one of the best NYC hotels I have stayed at. I travel to NYC twice a year and I have never stayed in a more beautiful big spacious, clean room as I did in the Affinia. The bed is a king, very comfortable with central air that cooled off the room nicely for the summer. There was also another room within my room (suite type) and a small kitchenette with sink, fridge, microwave. The bathroom was new, clean and beautiful. The room I had faced East so there was no annoying noise when I slept at night (which is very rare for NYC.) The staff was great. I have no complaints at all. Since I have not stayed in the Murray Hill area before, I was pleasantly surprised and will certainly stay there again. It is surrounded by everything one needs within walking distance, and it is close to Grand Central Station. Also, good restaurant "Rare" in the hotel, and a wonderful rooftop bar to hang out at with a great view of the Empire State and Chrysler Blds.

I love the location. Murray Hill is centrally located to my favorite parts of Manhattan. The room was large (I booked a 1BR Suite), but the decor was tired. Nothing was dirty or out of sorts, it's just that for the money I spent and the trendy vibe the hotel portrays, I wanted something more than poorly made furniture with the paint peeling off. Oh, and $13/day for wifi. That's just wrong. I don't see any need to return to this hotel.

Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gut ausgestattete Zimmer und zentrale Lage!

Je conseille vivement cet hotel. Très bien situé à New York, à proximité de l'Empire State Building et du Chrysler Building, il offre un service de qualité. La chambre est agréable et dispose de tout le confort. le personnel est très sympathique et très serviable. Cet hotel m'a permis de me visiter la ville dans les meilleures conditions possibles.
