254 East Vacation, New York City

Advantages: location, knowledge of consierge
Disadvantages: on a busy road

...Stayed here for a weekend and was very pleasantly suprised. I have stayed in Marriott hotels befor and have always found them pretty run of the mill. This hotel is no different in the view of rooms or facilities but it was the little things that made the difference. The hotel was immaculate when we stayed no dirt or litter anywhere. The staff were all very pleasant and attentive (especially the concierge who knew a lot of bars and restaruants off the beaten track and a lot less "touristy" for those looking for a true New York experience). The positioning of the hotel was great as well, easily within walking distance to a lot of the attractions (although the doormen will hail you a cab no trouble at all). If your going to New York for a weekend and need a central base that is friendly and reasonably priced then I would... Read review

...The city of Atlanta is a great place to spend a vacation. If you want to experience life in a big city, but can't cope with the crime and sheer size of places like New York or Los Angeles, Atlanta is perfect.

...This is an opinion on the area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I felt it was more useful to cover the three areas in one opinion as each are close to each other. Pennsylvania ------------- Penssylvania is a state full of beauty. It has some of the most beautiful mountains in the world, dotted with forests that make a trip through them pleasant and awe inspiring. If the beauty is not satisfying enough there are several major cities and other attractions all around the state. Philadelphia is perhaps the most famous city, with a history that stems back to the foundation of the United States. The architecture is beautiful, and the atmosphere is quiet and unassuming. Philadelphia boasts many museums, and perhaps is one of the better cities to visit if you are not too interested in shopping. Hershey Park – what... Read review
