The Hotel at Fifth Avenue

My husband and I stayed over Christmas. We expected the smaller sized rooms given it’s a hotel in the city and considering the price of other hotels with larger rooms- was one of the nicer cheaper options. We stayed for 5 nights.

The room was clean and was perfect for travellers like us who don’t spend much time apart from sleeping and showering in our hotel room when on an overseas trip. The room had the option of temperature control which was nice.

The location was perfect, close by to most popular touristy places but also not so in the hustle and bustle. Great places to eat close by.

Staff were friendly and helped when needed. Good lobby. The wifi was quite slow in our room but the lobby has plenty of seating so we sat down there when needing to use the internet.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights over the Columbus day weekend. Location was great with Herald Square and Madison Square Garden so close by. On arrival, we had to leave the car in the street for check-in since there is no drop-off zone. We opted for valet parking which was only 5 dollars more a night but the process was complicated with the valet rudely telling us we had to go get a ticket if we wanted to use the service before simply walking away from us. Otherwise, check-in was painless with quick and friendly service. The elevators seem to be problematic as they kept breaking down during our stay. The breakfast was good considering it was continental with some really decent options. Now the room itself was one of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in while in NYC... It was less than 100 square feet (bathroom included) and was touted as a "large corner room"... The door opened into the side table and after the bed and the desk took most of the space, we were hard pressed to find room to leave our single suitcase out... I would definitely recommend you get the king room as it appears slightly bigger than our "large corner room"... That being said, the room was very clean, the bathroom had good water pressure, the bed was comfortable and the service was good. Lastly, the wifi coverage was very poor on our floor and we found we had to leave our phones in or close to the bathroom to get decent coverage which is quite inconvenient. All in all, given the good deal we had on this room, I would say the hotel is worth considering if you're looking for a decent yet cheap hotel in this part of town!
