Pros (+) The staff was really kind - the man who handles luggage during the day is the most hospitable Bellman I've ever met. Excellent value at less than $200 for a night in Manhattan.
Cons (-) The bed isn't terribly comfortable. But everything else was good!

Pros (+) My son was graduating with a professional degree. Family from the Midwest were coming to NYC for the investiture. I made a reservation for 3 rooms (first mistake!). When I contacted The Avalon to change into the individual rooms, I was told to contact the online site where I made the reservation. The online site was absolutely no help!

Pros (+) After long days of exploring NYC, the quiet beauty of the Avalon gave a wonderful respite. The rooms are generous in size, extremely clean, and oh so quiet. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the heart of the city in the shadow of the Empire State Building. Complimentary fresh ground espresso & hot/cold filtered water. Our queen room ended up being a king - bonus!
Cons (-) Hair dryers are not great Extra fees not obvious upfront - paid $20 per day plus taxes on top of prepaid room.

Cons (-) They were incredibly understaffed for the week after Christmas. It took an hour and a half to check in and 2 hours to get our car at checkout. Would never stay here again

Pros (+) Decent location, very convenient to 6 subway which is great to get up and down the east side of Manhattan. Very helpful staff.
Cons (-) Not a great few blocks for bars and restaurants and nothing much to speak of in the hotel itself. Wood veneer floors in rooms are probably easier to keep clean but not very comfortable or inviting.

Pros (+) Price. Bathrooms were clean and nice. Spacious.
Cons (-) The facility felt very old and outdated. The quality of the floors, rugs, couches, shades was all poor. The floors were fake wood linoleum that moved around under your feet. The rooms need upgrades. The views out the back are straight into a construction site.
