It's not often you get more than what you pay for, especially in NYC. I went to my "room" and found I had a huge suite, in beautiful condition, immaculate and well appointed. It even appeared as if the carpet was new. I have stayed in the other Affinia Hotels in NYC; all great, but this was even better. Very close to Grand Central but ...
It's a very nice hotel, great location (only 4 blocks away from Grand Central, within walking distance of UN headquarters and Empire State Building), quiet environment, and a fancy bar on 1F (the price is great ^O^). What I like most is the guestroom kitchen, they even provide all basic tableware and cookware!!! Unfortunately, I'm kinda ...

Aussie in New York
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/07
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shelburne Murray Hill. Within walking distance of Broadway, Times Square, Rockefeller Plaza and Macy's - shopped big time there. Even though I live on a main road in Melbourne, New York is very noisy and alive at night and took a little getting used to. Staff pleasant and helpful, particularly with getting a taxi to the Airport.
We spent four nights here and will likely not return. Location was o.k. but prefer to be on west side closer to Times Square. Room was late being prepared - we were offered another room of less value (at lower rate no doubt) but it wasn't what we wanted. Saw this happen to others while we waited too. Front desk had maps of city but no ...
Very good value for a great hotel. Very modern roof bar/ lounge. Restaraunt in hotel that is excellent. Very helpful staff. Close to the Empire state building and Metro. Definitely would go back.

A real gem in Murray Hill. Nice staff, clean and well decorated rooms. The hotel restaurant has the world's best hamburgers am there other good restaurants nearby. There's a lounge on the first floor with computers and internet access (not free but reasonable), big screen TV and newspapers--great place to read or relax in comfortable chairs.

A Great Holiday
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/07
We took our children, aged 14 and 16, to see New York and booked through Travel Counsellors. The room was excellent, the kitchen covered our needs and the huge bed was a bonus. We had one discrepancy between the accomodation we had ordered and the actual accomodation provided but the cheerful and efficient young lady on reception sorted everything ...

Great stay in NYC!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/23/07
I stayed at Shelburne Murray Hill during Holy Week and Easter 2005. I stayed in a suite, and I couldn't have asked for a better place. The suite was large and roomy, very clean and comfortable and the bed was great. Also the staff was terrific in every kind of way - they did everything to make the stay even better. And then there's the ...
Liked location, convenient to everything. Quiet, neighborly, not touristy.
Liked room size, very comfortable beds. However, frig froze fruit, one phone did not work and was not repaired as requested.
Very nice lounge room for visitors.
Disliked front desk personnel, not at welcoming; unenthusiatic and nonchalant attitude, not forthcoming ...
