“Good place to stay a week while working in NYC”

When you're vacationing, you don't spend much time in the room. When working, however, you spend a good chunk of the evening and night in the room. For most Manhattan hotels you either pay a ridiculous amount or you're sitting in something the size of your coat closet. The Affinia Shelbourne has comfortable rooms, furnishings, and baths. It's a pretty good place when on-the-road in NYC.

“Terrible plumbing and service”

Here is the biggest problem I had, I checked in and had very little time to do anything but leave my bags in room and brush my teeth. I turned on the water and it came out brown in the sink. I had to wait a few minutes for the water to run out the brown color but also the water faucet was flawed and water came out with very low pressure and what pressure there was came out in all directions and soaked everything on the sink shelf including my suit and tie. I did not have time to change rooms as I needed to get to a meeting and got back 11PM and did not feel like re-packing the room. In the AM, same problem with brown sink water but worst of all, I tried to shower and the water came out brown for a few minutes and it also had almost no water pressure. Further, to get to hot the knob had to be turned to all the way to hot and then it would get too hot and only cooled when you turned it all the way to cold. It took me about 10 minutes to simply shower as the pressure and problems were ridiculous. In addition, the toilet water was rust colored which is a further turn off. All in all not satisfying and a poor experience that will be memorable. The worst part was when I went to check out the front desk person (male 7:30AM Wednesday November 30) asked how my stay was and when I told him of the problems he simply said he would have someone look into it. That did not do me much good and I would have expected some sort of better response.

“Smart choice”

Well situated, friendly and courteous staff.

“Amazing time...great customer service!”

We just got back from our Thanksgiving weekend in NYC. The Affinia Hotel was a great location and they had great customer service! The hotel was clean and a good size room for New York! we had a great time!

“Great hotel, great price”

Although not quite as central as some other hotels, the Affinia Shelburne was still within easy distance of the majority of places we wanted to visit and Grand Central station was only 10 minutes walk away for the subway. Staff were always friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

“Fine Affinia”

From the exterior the Affinia Shelburne was pretty non descript but as they say appearance isn't everything. Once inside you get a feeling of what is to come, it is inviting and convenient, the staff are friendly and the location is great for exploring Mid to Uptown New York. The only draw back is the Bar which is called 'RARE' don't get me wrong, the food and beverage quality and service is good but it can be extremely noisy which after a busy day in NY can be off putting. Murray Hill is full of bars and places to eat which range from basic to Fine dining all of which are reasonably priced and good value. Overall it is an ideal place to stay in The Big Apple, far enough from the Hustle and Bustle yet close enough to explore Times Square 42nd St etc. Thumbs up for the Affina Shelburne I would use it again

“Near Perfect”

My favorite NY hotel. Close to great shopping. Can get to Times square fairly easily but far enough away to avoid those crowds.

“love this htel”

been under remodel in past 16 floors. Rooms are giant to me, having stayed in some other NYC 'closets, so to speak. Beautiful large bed with very comfortable think mattress and duvet.Thermostat in room! Two(!) window covers, one a shade and one a sequential layered shade'. Both on chains to pull. open. Great lobby with confortable high back chair. There were also couches. Very competent Concierge right there in lobby standing at desk. Questions answered and/or tickets, reservations set up right on the spot. Some Chairs need to be reupholstered,imo but it might be a look. Desk staff great and efficient and quick. Super doormen make the outside sing and .keep the cars moving and offer genuine help.Truly an asset. Therestaurant RARE is a local attraction and offers agood value anddelicious food. Murray Hill is a neighborhood, with rest and cleanrer and pharrmacy and a great selection of restaurants. Room was perfect condition. I reqally likethe shelburne and would go back. Also the guets are youthful and having a good-time which makes the whole atmosphere cheerful.The Chrysler Bldt towers over the area,and the Empire St Bldg is also.near... There is construction starting nearby but is not part of the hotel.
