This hotel is the best, Stayed here overnight with our children and even they recognized how great this place is! The door man new all of our names and the staff was the most polite and helpful staff ever. The room was huge and had a fully loaded kitchen. My wife and daughters loved the Aveda Bath products! We had our choice of pillows and our children loved the free Iced Tea and Fruit in the lobby. We would reccomend this hotel to anyone. Barking Dog cafe was a monster hit for breakfast - large portions great price (Except the $* bowl of Fruit Loops my daughter order but this is NYC).
First trip to NY hit a home run...

with Affinia Dumont. This hotel was phenomenal! Great Location: 2 blocks from subway (1 stop from Grand Central), walking distance to Times Square, Grand Central, Grammercy, little bit of a trek but managable to Lower East Side and Village. Central park and Soho had to cab it but still very convenient. Only one subway change to Yankee Stadium. Markets and shops all around. 3rd Ave. has absolutely tons of pubs/bars/restaurants from 34th down to Lower East Side, we ate three times in this area, two pubs and one italian restaurant and hit up several local bars away from the tourists and the club crowd.
Room was fantastic! Seemed spacious from what I hear about NY hotels, we thought it used to be an apartment building with the kitchenette and large rooms but apparently has always been a hotel. Decorated upscale and very clean, great beds and linens.
We only went to the Barking Dog for drinks but it's still great for right downstairs and packed a crowd for Sunday Brunch. Exercise room was great, didn't use the Spa but looks nice.
Staff was more than friendly, when our car service wouldn't come into the city to take us on the return trip of the airport (2MM+ people at the Puerto Rican Parade) the bell hop had their car service come get us. There's also a great little diner about 2 blocks away to the southwest. All in all a great location, hotel, and staff. Couldn't have asked for a better trip.
