This was my second NYC trip. My first trip was okay but not knowing how things really go in NYC, the hotel I chose was a solid 2/5 and we had to walk through several groups of potentially less than reputable people.That hotel also had nothing to offer for food or drink options neither on site nor near by and most of the staff were rather rude. It was dirty, loud, and overpriced.
Courtyard was not only slightly less expensive, but was clean, quiet, staff was polite and helpful and it was near by many great places grab food or drinks, transportation, it was clean, comfortable and just a wonderful option. Im not sure I have ever left a hotel more satisfied than I did when we checked out.
We will be back in December.
