The Plaza Athenee, New York City

Advantages: Location - central to theatres, Times Square
Disadvantages: Bustling noisy location may not suit all

...Milford Plaza is in an excellent location if you want to enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown New York. Situated right next to Times Square, it is ideal for the Broadway shows or just to enjoy the hustle and bustle of New York life. On first entering the hotel, it may seem like the Milford has seen better days, but for the price the accommodation is good, clean and ideal. Rooms could be bigger, but in New York space seems to be a premium - and you won't be spending a lot of time there. Compared to many hotels in New York, the Milford Plaza is very good. The staff are helpful and there is definately that New York feel about the place. Like anywhere in NY - or most of the States for that matter - the hotel is room only, so don't expect a slap up breakfast to go with it. However, its location means there are plenty of places to eat... Read review

Advantages: everything and anything
Disadvantages: flight is too long from Manchester

...New York, New York, there are movies, songs, books named after this city of dreams. It has everything and anything. I went last fall with my family and it was the best week I have ever had in my life, I stayed in the Waldorf Astoria which is one of the most beautiful and elegant hotels you could ever stay in! Dont let people say that " the Plaza is the best hotel in New York becuse it's not its the Waldorf for sure. There is so much to do in New Yorkand the whole place is like one giantfilm set, you have Time Square where I say Fight Club because it is an R and if you are with your parents you can see it your under 17 and I was 14 but in Scotland i'd have to be 18 with or without parental consent, Empire State buliding which was breath taking from the top, statue of libirty which I never got over to see as the que was far to long...

Advantages: Location, customer service
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really.

...After arriving in the evening at our original hotel and finding that there was no reservation for us we 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 class hotel. There was a little noise form the street 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... Read review
