Skyline Hotel

Just returned from a 10 night stay at the Skyline Hotel and would return tomorrow if we could! We had booked our trip last August so had waited a year to go so I kept checking the reviews........ some were good, some were bad and some were downright ugly so I didn't know what to expect. My requirements for the room were simple - I wanted it to be clean with comfortable beds, nice bathroom and preferably spacious - the Skyline provided all of that and more! We were in room 520 which had a fantastic view which we all loved, our Daughter told us that the bed was the most comfy she'd ever slept in on holiday (I agreed with her on this) The location was perfect for us as we didn't want to be right in the hustle and bustle. There are delis, restaurants, cafes, diners and bars all around within a 5-10 minute walk - we were spoilt for choice! Nearest subway was also a 5-10 minute walk away. The negative reviews mention no coffee machines - We chose a 3 star hotel because it was affordable so the fact it had no coffee machines in the room wasn't a deal breaker as you can either go to the lobby to get one (if you've paid resort fee} or the Skyline Deli opposite the hotel. Regarding the air conditioning - yes it was noisy but I purchased ear plugs at a local chemist at a cost of 4 dollars so problem solved! If we had paid megabucks for a 5 star hotel, we'd expect luxury and all mod cons but we didn't so we were very happy with what we got here. We never saw any vermin or insects, the towels were changed every day and the bed linen was always clean and fresh. Checking in and out was quick and if you need to store luggage on check out day, they only charge a dollar a bag and will organise a car to take you to the airport if you request that. Another positive for us was we were not charged any resort fees as we had booked the hotel before the fees came into place last September. We are already looking to book again for next year and it will be at the Skyline!

The hotel is a nice hotel. Our room (kingsize bed) was big, bathroom is tidy. Staff is friendly and willing to help. We choose for a stay without breakfast, there’s lots of places to get your food around. Pool at penthouselevel is very nice after a day strolling New York City. We would definately come back!
