Manhattan Hotel Guide. Affinia Hotels in Manhattan, New York

The Restaurant in the hotel was excellent and the staff were professional.

Stayed at the hotel for a girlfriends shopping weekend. The hotel was very close to shopping. Hotel room had an amazing view of the city!

My stay at The Benjamin was wonderful and felt like I was coming and going from my own home. It has a small but well appointed lobby which makes it feel more like the lobby of a residential condo.

Door man, easy to find, great location if visiting lower side of NYC - close to metro. Nice continental breakfast in lobby and wine/cheese at 6pm. Hotel did not seem too booked - never a crowd. Room was very comfortable, sounds drowned out by nice new windows, excellent HVAC system-very quiet. Modern, sophisticated, artsy, hip, comfortable The glass bath was a bit of a shocker but fun. Huge shower no bathtub The bath amenities smell terrific. Housekeeping had a sense of humor and aimed the handheld shower towards the door so you couldn't help but get sprayed when you turned it on if you didn't notice it. This happened 2x-once upon arrival and then after turn-down.

the hotel public area is not so good but the room was ok .

The hotel has a complimentary wine event 5 - 6 pm which is a chance to meet and mingle with other guests - we went nearly every night. Staff are very helpful, informative and friendly. Our room on the 11th floor was very comfortable and had a wonderful view of the Empire State Building. It had lovely comfortable beds with a pillow menu and our towels where changed every day. We also had a fridge, coffee maker and large screen plasma tv. The hotel has a lovely roof top terrace with great views of the Empire State Building lit up at night - a lovely place to relax with a cocktail. The hotel is ideally situated in Murray Hill an area that has lovely restaurants, bars and diners and was a short walk to Grand Central Station. I would strongly recommend this hotel and would stay there again. It added greatly to our wonderful holiday in New York.

Convenient located . Comfortable room . Big issue with the elevators

Not happy with the room we were given. Very shabby. Complained to reception (Zoe) who was very helpful & gave us a much better room & a bottle of wine.
