I stayed at this hotel to attend a nearby event. The staff was friendly and gave us our choice of floors for our room. The room was very clean, I wish the shades were a little longer to block out all the AM light. There was underground parking which made us feel more comfortable as the area is very commercial and deserted in the evening. Great choice for local business or nearby events.

Marriot Manhattan view lic

Location:
.6miles from 33rd st Subway. Took 30min to walk from subway to hotel. There are not many taxis or buses this way.
Site offers free shuttle from hotel to 33rd st subway leaves every 30mins. I didn't realize they have free shuttle pick up from 33rd station til 11PM.

Food: hotel offered about 7 menus for places that deliver til 11pm. There arer a few places to walk to, but after a 30min walk with luggage i passed on more walking.
Large free breakfast offered

Room: one king suite
Large clean room. Hotel is fairly new so everything is newer. .
Can't ask for anything better as far as cleanliness.

Price: booked on points but value of hotel is great.

Cons:
Although this hotel is near new, the distance to public transportation is a big downfall.
For the everyday person and most travelers public transportation is very important, especially in NY.
If there was a more reliable shuttle from the subway to hotel I would stay here again. But since there was not I would look else where first to save time and convenience.

Stayed here on business for 2 weeks, going back next week for another week.
So far it's a great hotel. It's new, close to Manhattan and a great value.
It's also across the street from silvercup studios. If you are a USA Networks White collar fan the bar scene from episode 3.02 was shot in the breakfast area of the hotel.

Marabella pizza delivers great pizza and salads. And Bantry Bay Pub house up the street serves a great dinner and a pint.

We visited NYC with 5 adults and booked 2 rooms at the Fairfield Inn. Checkin was easy, and the staff was accommodating. We requested city view rooms on a higher level and the rooms side by side and got exactly that.

Rooms were small but very clean. Great view of the skyline. Shuttle to/from subway left every half hour and always picked us up when called within 10 minutes. We even arrived later in the night and felt safe.

Garage parking is free and secure. Breakfast was included, bagels, muffins, fruit, waffle maker, etc.

We will definitely be back!
