...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.

...then tried to find the best one out of a huge list I made. I didn't want to pay a lot for the hotel because I knew we wouldn't be in it much, and when I saw the Best Western name, I thought it would be a good idea to stick with what I know! So I booked 4 nights in this hotel in December 2005, my second trip to the fantastic NYC. We easily got a transfer from the airport, and gave the driver the address which I had printed out before we left the ...

...I eventually selected Habitat for its low price (£74 a night for a single room with trundle bed), pleasant looking interior and close location to Central Park, 5th Avenue and of course Tiffanys. The hotel was easy to reach from the main drop off point on the airport bus and even though it seemed extremely large and had the atmosphere of a youth hostel in part, we had a warm welcome from both the men at the door and at reception.
