A week in NYC at the beginning of a journey to Europe & three days on the way back— both times at the Residence Inn on Broadway/54th, and both times superb. #1 asset is a well-trained staff (special praise for Cyril at the front desk!) who makes this feel like a small boutique hotel instead of the towering giant it is. Housekeeping is always impeccable, & they’ve reorganized the breakfast buffet to be un-chaotic, no small feat. The value of this buffet & its vast choices shouldn’t be underestimated. The rooms are comfy, super clean & functional with breathtaking views in every direction. Nice to have the kitchenette to make sure leftovers of memorable meals don’t go to waste! And the location couldn’t be better for walking & accessing other transportation, seeing shows & visiting museums, finding umpteen dining options & enjoying everything about NYC. Final classy touch is the availability of a competitively flat-rate black SUV waiting to take you to your airport on departure. If I could give 10 stars for everything, I would!
