1. Positives:*got a huge one bedroom suite on floor 24 - breathtaking view *the suite was absolutely spotlessly clean, with a triple bed which was unbelievably comfy (had a mattress topper on it), it had two bathrooms and two TVs and a large sofa bed*the staff were extremely polite and helpful - particular mention goes to the concierge (Ann I think her name was) who gave us loads of helpful advice about places to eat and how to get to Newark for a hockey game*they happily looked after our luggage when we had checked out*it's about a 10 minute walk to Grand Central Terminal - where, apart from marvelling at its beauty, you can eat in a variety of cafes/restaurants or get a subway train*it's about a 5-10 minute walk to the Newark Airport Express bus stop - really handy*you can walk to Times Square, Broadway and Empire State Building reasonably easilyOther tips:*there's a McDonald's just opposite a little to the right - handy for Wifi or if you're desperate for a late night local snack*decent, reasonably priced breakfast at the Townhouse diner round the corner on 2nd Ave - friendly and attentive staff too*good breakfast at Bloom's Deli on corner of 40th Street *you can get provisions at some nearby supermarkets but I would avoid stores labelled as 'convenience stores' as I reckoned they ripped us off knowing that we were tourists (no prices on anything)*you won't need to take a hairdryer if you're a woman - they have one in the bathroom.

2. Or at least thoroughly read your email confirmation (which I should have done sooner) right away to avoid the bait and switch.

3. This is a good choice if you want to avoid staying in busier parts of Midtown, but still have relatively easy access to both Uptown and Downtown sights.
"Good value, lots of room, but rather bland. " Read full review on TripAdvisor   8/27/2011 Vote      
4. The bathroom ammenties were of good quality, a new & clean shower curtain - but you just can't avoid the look and feel of outdated applicancies, carpet and paint.

5. I have stayed in New York enough to know 'the territory' and I avoid the Fancy Chain Corporation Hotels.
"Great Value and Flawless Stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor   12/30/2009 Vote      
6. Of course you can always catch a cab to avoid walking, but we are cheap and walking affords you to see more of the city anyways.
"Perfect for a large group or family " Read full review on TripAdvisor   7/17/2008 Vote      
7. - avoid the horse carriages in Central Park ($34 for 10 minutes short walk) unless you want to take some nice photos.

8. We also bought the 7-day New York Pass, which was expensive but avoided constantly paying out for visits (note: make sure you book in advance for entry to the Statue of Liberty monument).
