Pennsylvania Scuba Diving Holidays

Nice amenities. We came during the St Pattys parade so reaching the hotel was a bit complicated - wish we would have gotten the heads up but the staff was v helpful. The hotel was definitely louder / busier. I would reconsider going off season since the rooms are pretty small with no fridge available and the amenities are limited. The good thing is there is Walgreens nearby so if you want to pick some stuff up then it’s convenient.

Spent 2 weeks there and chose this hotel because it was within walking distance to many areas and especially close to the conferences held at the UN. It is registered as a historic hotel, built in 1927. It is a brick and mortar style building.Therefore the furniture in the room reflects that--desk chair, desk, and wall bed. The window panes are the original ones, with no insulation as modern windows have today. Therefore the room can be very drafty even with the windows closed and the shades drawn. I think I had a wall bed or murphy bed. It was difficult to navigate getting in and out of bed because of the sofa-like protruding arms that ran nearly lengthwise along both sides of a king size bed. My room on the 9th floor directly faced 42nd street. Since this is an older building with very little insulation and no soundproofing, it is very noisy day and night with incessant horn-honking, and ambulance and police sirens, plus the usual vehicle traffic. This made it difficult to sleep. Bring earplugs. Nonetheless, the housekeeping staff clean the rooms everyday, unless the do not disturb sign is on your door. They really do a stellar job in cleaning the rooms, and in making up the weird shaped bed. They manage to tuck in the bedding neatly every time in spite of those weird protruding sidearms. The towels and bed linens are spotless and very clean. There is a small refrigerator in the room, an iron, ironing board, a coffee maker, hair dryer, NO microwave, no restaurant.

Great location, room suited me perfectly. Attentive staff! Will stay again in the future.
