Who Needs to Sleep Anyway?
Review of Marcel Hotel, New York City by
VanillaSpy
Advantages: Well located stylish boutique hotel. Walking distance from Times Square and downtown.
Disadvantages: The bedrooms are small and there is no hotel bar.
...the Big Apple at the Marcel Hotel for £450 was a steal and although I'm not usually one to book more than a week in advance, I knew we had to act fast. I wasn't wrong, the price had gone up within days and as it turned out our trip was every bit as good as we'd hoped.
The Marcel Hotel is a 3* modern 'boutique' hotel which basically means it is small and stylish and not part of a chain. The decor is tasteful and calming with walls and floors decorated ... ...in the morning. At the Marcel we rarely saw another guest and the staff were confined to the front desk, all were pleasant and polite but typical New Yorkers - never keen to stop and chat!
Our room was very small but perfectly formed. Luckily we spent very little time in it but as the shopping bags mounted up, there was less and less space to move about in.
Given that it was January we had packed for freezing temperatures however New York welcomed ...

Good value hotel with no frills
Review of Milford Plaza Hotel, New York City by
Arboy1971
Advantages: Location, customer service
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really.
...were eventually accommodated at the Milford Plaza and I cannot reccommend them enough for their outstanding customer service. The front desk staff were extremely helpful in trying to solve our predicament and found us a room at mega short notice.
As for the accommodation, the room we were allocated was on a high floor and had a king bed, TV, table and chairs, en--suite bathroom with shower and all of the usual accoutrements you would expect of this ... ...below and there are a few sex shops in the area which makes it seem a little seedy but it seemed safe enough to us. The best feature by far is the location. You are only a few blocks from Times Square and also to Penn Station. Good value overall. ...

Advantages: got everything so close by
Disadvantages: oldie worldie decour
Edison hotel was built in 1931in true Art Deco style it is situated in the heart of New York. On 228 West 47th Street just half a block from Times Square and one block from restaurant row also either direction you'll have Broadway so the situation of this hotel is perfect. when checking in i was immediately greeted by friendly staff. as usual i thought a lift would take ages and we where on the 7th floor but suprisingly the lifts came quickly. on ... ...the view as it was off a back of the street and became noisy in the morning with lorries delievering stuff. the rooms had really high ceiling with a cupboard with a tv for entertainment and lots of storage for unpackaging. the bathroom was very small , with basic sink, bath and toilet. unfortunately our lock on the bathroom was broken but staff fixed that asap. The hotel made me feel really safe with the security on 24/7. the hotel comprised of a ...
