Stayed with three girlfriends while attending a runway show across the street in Bryant Park. Hotel location perfect for on-time attendance at the show; just a hop, skip and jump away. Room was generously sized, with an exceptionally large bathroom featuring a soaking tub, walk in shower and full size sink vanity. The reception staff very gracious and helpful with even simple things, like the address of a restaurant where we were having dinner. The Cellar Bar, located inside the hotel, was a trendy hot spot perfect for hanging out after dinner for drinks and dancing. Patrick, the bellman, was eager to help us on an early Saturday morning, willingly offering to hold our bags while we had breakfast at a great place he suggested and gave us the perfect advice for making sure our car was pulled right around as we arrived back from breakfast. He had us all loaded up and ready to go in no time. Only two small areas for improvement: The "free drink" vouchers given to us upon our arrival were not accepted in the bar for some unknown reason and the bellman on duty on Friday night directed us to walk up a block to hail a cab, rather than getting one for us. Not a big deal, but a pain in the neck on a very cold night in the city. Overall, our expectations were exceeded and we will return on our next trip to the city.
Pros: Location, Room Size, Service

We've stayed at the Belvedere twice now. It's just off 8th avenue and it 's very quiet. It's a short walk to all the theaters. Rooms are average size for a room in New York. We had a king size bed-it was so comfortable that we fell asleep quickly and hated to get out of it. Bellmen are fantastic. They will help you with whatever you need and are NOT the kind that hold out their hands for a tip. Good courteous service from everyone. The only drawback is that the elevators are small and take too long to get to you. They can probably fit 6 people if crammed in and maybe 4 with luggage. Most people don't know to use the side elevator. It's to the right of the lobby near the stairs. The left side elevator is a service elevator, but we go on it a few times out of frustration. There was also no air conditioning in the hallways which made waiting for the elevator seem even longer. The air in the room was fabulous.
If you want a good hotel that is clean and decent and friendly, it's worth the money!
Pros: quiet; friendly staff; clean
Cons: small elevators

The room we stayed in was nice and comfy. We had a little trouble with the air conditioning system. It's very quiet here. The hotel is near Times Square. Unfortunately, the room rates are around $400 a night. The people at this hotel were so nice. I enjoyed the food here (room service).

I came to Oasis at the Affinia Dumont for a Brown Sugar Scrub, and I was absolutely thrilled with the results. Sandra did a really good job, and she was so nice! I didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all, even without my clothes on. And best of all, my skin was soooo soft afterwards!! :-)
Pros: relaxing, friendly staff, great results
Cons: none :-)

We stayed at the Herald Square Hotel in New York City recently, and loved it! The hotel is convenient to everything, only a few safe walking blocks away from Madison Square Garden and Times Square. It's a very classically styled place. We traveled with a friend who stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms, done over in the period style of the historical significance of the hotel, and just beautifully restored. But our room was also wonderful. There is definitely a feel to the building that you are in the place where Time and Life magazines were done. The hotel has pictures of from the covers of the magazines that used to be created there hanging in the narrow hallways. The marble circular stairs bring you into the halls at each floor but yes, there is an elevator too! While there is no restaurant or room service, the breakfast area in the lobby has coffee, tea and hot chocolate available, and there are a couple of places very close by, including a wine bar next door, a market just down the street with great bagels, and a Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins just up the street. The lobby is small, but once you enter your room you forget about that and you just enjoy being there. The towels were thick and bed linens were elegant, white comforters, crisp sheets and classic cotton blankets. The bathroom was grand, and the mattresses and pillows were top of the line. Flat screen big TVs and free high speed internet service were in both rooms. It's a great place to stay!

The whole hotel was very luxurious and the decor was tasteful. The rooms were immaculate and the elevators fast. There was no view, and the rooms were still very small. I felt claustrophobic so I was out most of the time. I eat in the hotel and the restaurants are very nice , the food are great , a large slection of sea food , everything over this place is wonderful , i wil get only over there the next time I need a place to stay .
What all the waiters did was hand out so much bottled water I didn't buy any while I was in New York City. Each day they had hors d'ouevres that tasted like they were precooked, and there was a bar where you could order (not free) alcoholic drinks. There was free Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea along with internet access.
