Fantastic West Side Get Away!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/24/10
We just can't recommend On the Ave enough. The location just can't be beat as the property is located on the much-quieter Upper West Side of Manhattan with easy access to all the great New York sights and sounds when you want a more "lively" city experience.
The hotel itself was extremely clean and from the moment you walk in to the lobby (which, by the way, is filled with a wonderful aroma of lit candles) their staff go out of their way to greet you and see how they can serve you. I don't think I opened the front door all week long with the way the young hotel staff saw you coming, opened up doors in front of you, and sent you off with a "have a wonderful day."
Our room on the 16th floor (a Penthouse Suite) was immaculately clean, comfortable, and very spacious. It had a fantastic view toward Central Park as well. Despite the 90+ temperatures associated with NYC in July, the a/c in the room more than kept pace. The dear lady who serviced our room all week was fantastic at her job and was very personable. She even asked if there was anything special that we would need upon our return from busy days sightseeing in the city!
We were in NYC to celebrate the completion of graduate school. Our week in NYC probably would have been great at most any hotel, but it was made much, much nicer because of On the Ave! Thanks to all there for a fantastic visit. We'll be back!!
