Salisbury Hotel, New York City

Advantages: Good history and historic sites
Disadvantages: lack of decent shops

...Salisbury is not a shoppers paradise if that is what your expect, but there is alot a lot to do there if you a tourist or intrested in the history of towns, becuase Salisburys main attraction has to be its Catherdral which can be seen well before you enter the city. The city has a wide range of pubs and restuarants, but really only one main club The Chapel. If you want to buy new cloths then i would recommeneb other towns and cities such as Southampton or Bournemouth. If you cannot drive or you do not have your own transport then that is ok as Salisbury has a excellent public transport system.... Read review

...I dream of days gone by when I was lucky enough to live in Salisbury. I now live in London and have to get my regular fix of my favourite cathedral city in the form of long weekends spent at one of Salisbury's wonderful hotels.

...I went to New York, New York for the first time during the last week of March. I really enjoyed it, but I'm still paying it off! Too many shops led to far too much bending of the old plastic. Don't go there if you can't control your spending :-) The whole of 5th Avenue is just far too dangerous ;-) First we stayed in a hotel on 57th street called The Washington Jefferson, but it was a horrible dump. We booked it over the internet so we didnt really get much of an idea about it, and at $99 a night (for a single room), it was the cheapest would could find. We didnt stay there long and soon moved a bit further up town and found a great place called The Salisbury Hotel just opposite Planet Hollywood. That was infinately better!!! I recommend that hotel to anyone - it costs a bit more but the difference is amazing. Entertainment wise theres... Read review
