3. Cheap-ish price (especially when split between 4)- checkThe appeal of this hotel was its central Manhattan location and it's relatively low price when split between 4 also the knowledge that it had a parking deal with a local underground car park (parking in New York was something we knew nothing about and didn't want to chance on such an important leg of our trip; when booking online from England it felt difficult to find a hotel which catered for parking and this was one of the best/'only' deals we could find).
