The St. Regis, New York City

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Great value hotel right in the heart of Manhattan,at 147 West 43rd St, New York. Just off Times Square but more a quiet oasis than bustling metropolis. Extremely well run. Totally themed out in Morroccan style (mosiac tiling and palms throughout) its actually pretty authentic. Owner and staff are all North African or at least second generation. Bookings can be made and discounts can be haggled over online at casablancahotel.com. Thers free wine and cheese on various days in the lounge plus free internet access. They dont have a gym pool but give you free access to the one next door with amazing views. And its cheaper than other hotels of the same standard due to only having 48 rooms. Well worth it....

New York State is so much more than New York City. Life tends to become a slower pace in Upstate New York. Upstate New York is anything north of Westchester County or New York City. The small area of New York City has the bulk of NY's population. There are close to 17 million people within NYC and 13 million in the rest of the State. The State motto is Excelsior(Ever Upward). State politics favor New York City and the Albany capital region as the most developed and prosperous parts of the State. Certain parts of the State get pounded with feet or meters of snow each year, while some areas get hardly any. In the Adirondacks temperatures can... Read review
