Affinia Dumont Hotel New York

This hotel is extreme for New York City. It's all suites and they are fantastic. I went with 2 others for a theatre weekend. The hotel is located well but a bit removed from the Broadway noise. It's a newer modern and simplistic with it's design. It bills itself as a fitness hotel. It offers many spa options of which I chose a great relaxing massage.

The suite we were in had a very large living room with a wall of window that had a view out to the East River. There was a kitchenette that was larger than many NY apartment kitchens that I've seen. The bedroom is huge with a wall of armoirs and an large LCD tv. The bath was large with a separate shower and tub. It even had a towel warmer. The decor was warm modern with rich dark woods and cream colors. Accents of red gave it a punch of color.

Service was fantastic. Whatever the need, it was provided. We partake of room service which was expensive but, worth the money.

Our little apartment with spa treatments was a dream!

For a mid-range hotel, this is truly a highly exceptional hotel. The rooms are clean and comfy and HUGE by NY standards - we had a very affordable suite with 2 full beds and a queen sofa-bed pullout and a small kitchenette and lots of closet space. It fit 4 girls very comfortably. The service was very friendly and efficient; the gym (while small) had all the necessary equipment. There were several cafes, bars and markets nearby which was quite convenient. This hotel is perfect for a family with kids, for groups of friends - probably not the best for a romantic weekend. (tip for the men: if you want to impress your dates, try the plaza or peninsula :) .) I didn't try the spa so I can't comment on that.
