Comfort Inn Manhattan Hotel

1 reader found this review helpful

Comfortable flight with Virgin even though we were in Economy, with good choice of food and a useful amenity pack. Swift transfer was included in the price.
Hotel is in an older building on what looks quite a shabby street in a commercial area, but the location is very convenient. Macy's is 5 minutes walk in one direction, 5th Avenue is at the end of the road and the Empire State Building is one block down: amazing! There is a subway station at the end of the road and bus routes are close too.
The foyer is compact but comfortable with a free coffee machine. Small but swift lifts carry you to shabby landings; the mix and match carpets and random pictures made me think of a Blackpool guest house - the building does show its age here, especially in the STEEP stairs.
The rooms, however, are clean, well furnished and a good size, with all the facilities you would expect from a Comfort Inn, even down to a safe and an iron / ironing board in the closet. Good range of toiletries in the shower room. We had a huge bed, ample drawer and hanging space as well as a table and 2 chairs. Even though we were at the back of the hotel we were delighted by the view of part of the Empire State Building - had to lie on the floor to see the top!
Although coffee making facilities are not provided in the rooms there is an ice machine on every other floor and an ice bucket in each room, so we enjoyed our Snapple chilled! Room service was very quick and we were impressed by the huge portions - good value compared to the UK!
One bonus with Virgin was the complimentary breakfast in the adjoining bar - free danish, bagels and cereal.
Altogether a pleasant base for the exciting city of Manhattan.

Great Hotel, complimentary breakfast was excellent a great selection.
Rooms are a little dated but if you want modern this isn’t for you, the place is spot less, staff friendly, comp. tea and coffee in reception and attached bar Brendans serves great food for dinner.
Excellent location, only feet from acys, but still quite enough, we had a room on the 4th floor it was huge, it wasn’t a suite, but there was a sofa/seating area and a great view of the empire state.
Definitely go and stay there again.
