stayed one night in a horror show in midtown. someone suggested The Maritime. Thank you David! Cool hip. beds like heaven with bedding I would kill for. Great area for everything and three subway stops from time square and broadway. Worth the money.

i stayed there while they were building this hotel and it was still amazing. the beds were so comfortable and the bathroom was awesome. the view from our room was incredible as well. i will return because i want to see the finished product.

This downtown hotel provides one with an option to dine at two different restaurants, italian and japanese in the hippest of enviornments. The building itself is so unique with all of it's circular windows, making it looks like a ship with portholes or a giant piece of swiss cheese.
Seriously though, the staff is not only beautiful, but friendly and even though on the hipper side of trendy, it is relatively down to earth and relaxed.

I am a New Yorker now living in LA, and this hotel reminds me of what a great city NY is. Perfect location for shopping, nightlife, meeting friends. Great service from the front desk, fun restaurants/bars in the hotel. Rooms are a bit small, but very cozy, and at least you get an authentic taste of what it's like to live in NY.
