A great home base
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/15/08
We stayed for a week at the Affinia Dumont with our two teenage daughters. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and had large rooms, very helpful staff, and numerous amenities. (Try the specialty pillow menu! There is also a day spa, but no swimming pool.) The midtown location was perfect for exploring the City, and the neighborhood felt safe day and night. The nearby restaurants and markets provided excellent food and service; by the end of our stay, the owner of the market we most frequented had begun to recognize and greet us when we came in. A bit pricey per its NYC location (although you can sometimes get a deal, and you can exchange timeshare points), but someplace we'll definitely stay again.
