Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan / Chelsea

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Ideal location for exploring the city. Hotel had everything we needed. Trip was with adult daughter & the three of us had enough space in the room. I researched a lot of hotels & for the location this made economic sense & had all the facilities we wanted. Didn’t eat or drink there but no need as so many options close by. Close to subway to get around the city & Times Square was 15 min walk away. Could do with some modernising but that’s being picky. Would recommend

Great hotel in a great location , rooms very nice , we had one with a kitchen , our room overlooked the empire state building which was a plus.

Well located. Easy to walk to loads of the sights + theres a subway station at the end of the road. Penn station is also about a 10 minutes walk away if you’re coming in on the LIRR from JFK. Great views over the NY cityscape (I was on the 37th floor). Comfy beds. Room had a microwave and mini fridge. Only criticism was my room was quite compact so there was limited space to hang clothes or store my suitcase. Breakfast had lots of choices (inc gluten free bread, bagels and labelled hot...

The High Line Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

There was not a bad point about the High Line Hotel. The staff were great with us and very helpful as our luggage was sent out 2 days later. They couldn't do enough. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel as a hole was quiet and cosy. There is a great feeling around the hotel. With all the locals calling in for the great coffee or cocktails in the evening. The fact that it's dog friendly ( in our view ) makes it feel like home. All of this is testament to how good the place is. I only have...
