A NYC week

A good place for an extended family stay in NYC. Our family is used to much more space than you usually find in NYC hotel rooms. This suite hotel lets you spread out a bit. You can request a complimentary mini-fridge when you make reservations. There are enough food choices close to the hotel to allow my husband and I to leave our teens to their own devices while we went to an upscale restaurant. Free buffet breakfast kept my husband and son happy in the mornings while my daughter and I were happy to slip into one of the numerous bakeries sprinkled on the route to the subway (5 blocks away). Century 21 Department store nearby offers quick bargin priced shopping. The 11 screen movie theater conveniently located at the hotel saved the day when our theater ticket arrangements fell through.
The skyline views from our floor were beautiful. The hotel staff friendly and solicitous. An Internet connection is an extra charge. There is free internet access downstairs in the "Business Center" but so many guests let their younger children use it unattended that I can't imagine anyone using it for business. The room decor was basic, but when we want chic we know we will have to pay alot more than the family friendly room-rate at this hotel. It was a good choice for us and we would stay there again.
