New York Days - Enrico Rava

The perfect location in New York

Advantages: Brilliant location, modern, big room, huge TV, one of the cheapest hotels
Disadvantages: Breakfast is expensive, toilet blocked a couple of times, not enough lifts

had in a hotel. They had some great TV channels including news, sports, a lot of Spanish channels(?) and the best channel which showed comedy stuff like The King of Queens and Judge Judy. We also had a small table and a couple of chairs, a big desk, a phone and a digital alarm clock. The bathroom was very clean and they provided good bath products and lotions. My husband used the gym a few times which he said was good. I looked at all the hotel's in this area that had a good location and this was one of the cheapest ones. Although still, admittedly, very expensive, prices are good for a central New York hotel. We paid $1,400 for the week but this wasn't including breakfast (I wouldn't book breakfast here as it's pretty pricey at about £18 a day). At the time I booked it, in August 08, the exchange rate made it about £800. However ...

Review of Park Central, New York City

New York, New York

Advantages: Fabulous shopping, bargains, great sights
Disadvantages: You will be tired and have foot pain at the end of the trip

. You have your photo taken on the 80th floor before going up to the observation deck which you can purchase afterwards. We did, although it was quite expensive, something like $15, but it was our first time there and we wanted a souvenir. The views from the top are amazing and we were lucky that it was a clear day. It was freezing cold, quite unseasonably so for March we were told, but you wouldn't know it from the photos. After we'd bought some things from the gift shop we went back down to the street and explored further before finding our way to Macys. To me, Macys is still the best department store in New York, if not the world. It is huge. If you are not a resident you can go to the visitor centre and show your passport for a discount card which entitles you to a further 11% off. Combined with the low prices in store this ...

Review of New York City

Bentley Hotel - New York New York!!!!

Advantages: Clean, nice rooms - amazing views from roof top balcony
Disadvantages: 24 Hour coffee bar was actually a vending machine!!

be, and helpful and the whole check in procedure was quick and easy. The staff are bilingual ? although this was not needed in our case ? but handy to know if you do not speak English. **LOCATION AND CONVENIENCE** Well, The Bentley Hotel is situated on the Upper East Side of New York, on East 62nd Street. It is 15 miles from JFK airport ? (which is where we flew in from) 10 miles from Newark airport 8 miles from La Guardia airport. Everywhere we went to (and that was a lot of places in 3 days!) seemed easily accessible by cab. This was an experience in itself, the driving, the honking and so on, but the hotel itself is situated very close to Roosevelt Island and the East River. Many of the views from the hotel look out over the East River and this is a fairly unique view for a New York hotel. It is 7 blocks from Central ...
