Courtyard by Marriott New York City Manhattan Fifth Avenue in New York

The rooms are clean, but could use updating. If they are going to continue to charge the prices they are charging. The bathtub was very dated with discoloration, the door was hard to open from the inside and the flooring in the middle of the room was bowing up to the point that my husband tripped over it. One of the elevators was down so we either had to wait a while or traverse 22 flights of stairs (these things happen, but just a heads up for those visiting soon). I think for the money you can find better spots.

If you read reviews you already know the main reason to stay at this hotel is the location. You can walk to Bryant Park, ESB, Times Square, Grand Central and much more. You will need to lower your expectations as far as the hotel itself. There is no restaurant just a Lavazza coffee and hot chocolate maker. But there are literally hundreds of bakeries, cafes and restaurants all around the hotel! The rooms are basic and the decor is outdated but they are clean and housekeeping comes every other day if you want it. Mini fridge is available upon request. No bottled water, buy your own at the CVS. No spa, no room service. Sirens, horns and construction noise during the night even on the top floor so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. And just one working elevator for 30 floors. But the hotel is so narrow there's only 7 rooms on each floor! So depending on the time, you'll want to factor in an extra 5-10 minutes to get to the lobby.
