The GEM Hotel Midtown-West an Ascend Collection Hotel, New York

My overall review is absolutely favourable and I would definitely recommend this hotel if you don't want to spend too much but don't want to end up in a dirty, uncomfortable place. The hotel position is excellent: you only have to walk five minutes to reach the Madison Square Garden, Macy's, the Empire State Building, and the 34th street subway stop which encompasses six lines (A, C, E, 1, 2, 3) and will get you almost anywhere without much travel (just 1 stop to Times Square, for instance). The staff is very friendly and kind and open to any question. We even brought an extra person with us and they didn't charge us a penny! The hotel room is very clean and comfortable: soft bed, large tv, free internet and a nice, perfectly furnished bathroom. The only complaint would be the size: we almost had to walk over our luggages because there wasn't much room for feet, and the wardrobe (which to his defense contained a safe) only had 4 hangers and very little space for clothes. But keep in mind that we were four: if you're planning a trip for two you will definitely not feel those incommodities.
