We have stayed at this hotel many times and always enjoyed our visit. Although mid-town is not our favorite location, the hotel is quiet, convenient and very well maintained. The staff are incredible - friendly, helpful and just nice people. We usually book a junior suite which has plenty of room to unpack and hang clothes. The shower is very good and there is alot of counter space in the bathroom. Although we didnt use it, there is a microwave. It is well priced and a great choice for staying in NYC.
