Das Hotel können wir weiterempfehlen.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Täglich wurde gereinigt und die Handtücher gewechselt. Diese waren genügend vorhanden. Zur Subway war es nicht sehr weit. Im Eingangsbereich gab es Kaffee und Tee, die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt ideal, von dort aus Manhattan zu erkunden.

Cons:

Apesar do valor alto, o hotel é excelente e não há nada de negativo para apontar.
Pros:

Apesar do valor altíssimo (o que, infelizmente, me pareceu normal pra essa região de NY), o hotel é maravilhoso. Me deram um upgrade e fiquei num quarto super espaçoso, com uma cama grande e muito confortável, com um banheiro ótimo (chuveiro ótimo, pia bem espaçosa, box de vidro e toalhas excelentes), televisão, armário e janela grande. As bebidas e alimentos do frigobar estavam inclusos. Limpeza diária do quarto. Café, chá e chocolate quente na recepção. Funcionários da recepção muito simpáticos e educados, sendo pacientes com hóspedes que não falam bem inglês. Uma das recepcionistas é brasileira, inclusive, e muito cordial. A localização é ótima também, muito perto de estação de metrô e da 5ª Avenida, por exemplo. Eles entregam uma lista com indicações de restaurantes próximos (com indicações para café da manhã, almoço e jantar) quando do checkin. Enfim, recomendo muito!

Cons:

Gostei de tudo na acomodação.
