This is the second time we've stayed at the Travel Inn...the first time was location and price, this time, location, price, and knowing the great value and "amenities" we'd get for that price brought us back. You'd be hard pressed to find another place in Manhattan where you can park onsite (for a ridiculously low fee per night!!!) and be able to access your vehicle as needed. The Travel Inn is within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions; we traipsed our family all the way up to the Plaza (went through Times Square), back to the hotel, up to Rockefeller Center, down to the Empire State Building, and off to Grand Central Station for doughnuts the next morning. No problems. The neighborhood is safe, convenient, and great for families. The room itself was quite spacious and comfortable, though we did have a random back door that accessed a service hall. It ended up being quiet and a non issue. The in-room refrigerator was an added bonus. Though certainly not "high end" you simply cannot find a better value for your money!
