Good location for a short stay in NY

First Time in NY : I spent 3 days- so short stay Hotel was in located in a very convenient location. Easy access (20 min) from La Guardia Airport It is in walking distance of great places (Rocklfeller, Madisson....) and anyway you've got metro station across streethotel. Hotel room was good (quiet, clean, all amenities) Good staff :friendly, pro, discreet and they've upgraded the room from superior to studio- good initiative!
