Fifty Hotel & Suites by Affinia

Doorman was super nice and friendly. Check in was slow, but that was mainly because the people in front of me didn't know how a hotel works. Very annoying, but wasn't the fault of the hotel. Resort charge is annoying. Resort consists of free overpriced food from their pantry (up to a limit), discount at a local restaurant, Wifi access, and afternoon wine. Room was HUGE by NYC standards, some even have a balcony. We thought it was going to be a noisy night because the fire department isn't too far away, but it turned out to be pretty quiet.

Very good business hotel. Highly recommended

I used to love this hotel. The staff was unique and was full of enthusiasm. Now everyone looks tired. The service is forgettable (and the staff is forgetful). The rooms are still fine but the kitchens are more and more devoid of anything useful and happy hour feels like a room full of homeless people trying to get drunk before they get kicked out.

Wonderful large room, excellent service. The extra "facilities" fee feels like the hotel is cheating you out of an extra $38 per night, even if you get $10 credit for use on water and snacks (though a bottle of water is more than $8). Bathroom had poor drainage.

Larger room than expected for the price. VERY friendly staff. Did not realize when booking that hotel charged a daily fee which included a certain spending amount in the snack cabinet, late afternoon wine social (which we only attended once of five days), and WIFI. Location was further from Theatre District than we would have liked, but close to Rockefeller Center. Late check-out and proximity allowed us to walk to United Nations and tour on the final morning.
