Comfort Inn Midtown, New York City

Advantages: great location, friendly, staff and clean
Disadvantages: dark, slightly dingy rooms

...The Comfort Inn, Manhattan. I travel quite a bit on business and always bid for my hotel rooms online. I’ve never been disappointed with the results of my bidding, but last December, ‘naming my price’ got me the Comfort Inn, Manhattan, which was quite 'ho-hum'.
