Across from Lincoln center, 2 blocks from Central Park and Columbus Circle, this hotel is a perfect spot from which one can experience some of the best NYC has to offer. Clubby lobby with lounge-y furniture and a great rooftop bar round out the package. The rooms are nothing special - and are in need of renovation (cracked paint, old air conditioning units, chipped tiles) but perfectly comfortable and clean.
Address: 44 West 63rd St., New York, NY
