Avon-By-The-Sea Beach

We got lucky and received a free upgrade to a Pent House room! The location is great, just a few blocks from Central Park in one direction and Times Square in the other. There are bus stops and subway entrances close by. It was easy to make pit stops at the hotel when we would be passing thru or hanging out in the neighbourhood.

There is no coffee maker in room- you have to go down to the lobby to get some. Also there was quite a bit of partying going on (Friday night) so if you like to go to bed on earlier side be careful. Otherwise everything else was great.

Just got back from our 4 nights stay at Hotel 57 and it far exceeded our expectations! While the room IS smaller than most hotel rooms nationwide- this IS NYC! We had a double bed vs our usual King - BUT .. still had the big screen TV AND a BIG closet, AND a NICE bathtub/ shower combo! Which we don’t always get in other places! They provided “large size” pump shampoo/conditioner/body wash that is “mid to semi high end” quality!! And pump lotion (very nice citrus quality) beside the sink. There is also a hairdryer/ iron and board in room. Coffee maker and coffee/ ice bucket (ice machines every other floor) and filtered water available at the gym!!! We especially LOVED that you had to have your room key to even use the elevator- therefore, ONLY quests could access them! STAFF was VERY friendly! Smiles and greeting every time we saw one! Always asking how we were and if we needed anything ! 5 STARS! From check in to check out! Our bed was SUPER comfy- premium duvet and pillows! And the AIR worked AWESOME!! Blackout blinds when needed and we also had a great view! NOW… the walls ARE a little thin, or maybe it is the door? As we were able to hear a lot of noise from others within the hotel on our floor- BUT- that wasn’t enough to distract from all the other GREAT 👍 things ! The BEST thing though is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! OMG 😱!! This hotel is LITERALLY 15-20 min walk from Central Park (we went to a concert) 25 min from Times Square!!!
