“A fun hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

The staff are friendly and helpful. Upon check in we received a complimentary upgrade. My daughter received a coloring book with crayons from the front desk at check in as well as a nice bag that proudly displayed the logo of the hotel. Upon request, staff brought a mini-fridge to our room for us at no additional charge.

Each time we would enter or exit the hotel bell service would carry our daughter's stroller up and down the stairs which was very helpful.

The hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. I have heard from other travelers that space is an issue in New York, but we did not feel cramped in the room. The room was tastefully decorated. The hotel has made efforts to improve closet space by adding shelving and increasing overall storage space.

The bathroom is decorated in a modern style with mostly stainless steel fixtures. We only had a shower stall and no bathtub which was a surprise.

For those traveling with small children, there is a nice grocery store across the street on Broadway where you can purchase snacks, breakfast items and spectacular fresh fruit. Much more than that available for purchase it is worth checking out. It is extremely convenient if you come from a family of snackers.

We would definitely stay at this hotel again the next time we are in New York.

“A comfortable place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

This was my fourth stay at On The Avenue, and I have felt comfortable and welcome each time. My friend and I were upgraded to "superior" rooms as a result of a special offer, and they were no different from the standard rooms I have stayed in before. I have never had anything other than a small room with a view of a brick wall. That being said, the rooms have always been clean, quiet and well equipped, and I would certainly stay here again. The best part for me is the hotel's proximity to Lincoln Centre. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby, including a fun place whose exact name escapes me right now. It's something like Nick's Burger Joint, right across Broadway from the hotel. Next to Nick's is a Fairway grocery store that is definitely worth investigating, either to pick up some snacks to just to see what they have in there. I bought a bag of roasted, peeled chestnuts -- definitely not available where I live!

Room Tip: Rooms in the back, although without any view whatsoever, are quiet.

“Great room & service”

The room was clean, serviced regularly, very comfortable, great amenities but without a view. It wasn't noisy at all. However the neighborhood on the Upper West Side was pretty dead.

“A Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This was my second stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Jessie. I'm not sure how or why, but my room was upgraded and what a lovely room and view I had! Too bad I wasn't there for a week! But the two days I was there were very nice. It's a great neighborhood! I look forward to my next stay!!

Room Tip: Try to get upgraded. That panoramic penthouse was amazing!

“Great Location and good service”

location on 77th near broadway is definitely the part of the city I like the best. unfortunate about the construction accross the road. They start early but I suppose if you take a room on the back then you would't hear the drilling and pounding at 7 AM! But thats not the hotel's fault. staff very helpful and the free wireless in the lobby is nice. But it would be great if they had it throughtout the hotel. Lots of wonderful shopping in the area and easy to walk over to Central Park for an escape from the city noise.

Room Tip: If on 77th go for a high floor. the view is lovely....Or avoid the current construction noise from a...
