Overview

Friendly staff; Irish restaurant with popular breakfasts; and clean rooms

Fees for Wi-Fi access

This Irish-inflected hotel (you'll find its flagship location in Dublin) anchors Manhattan's East Side. The hotel sits within walking distance of iconic landmarks, including St. Patrick's Cathedral, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. And if you've never had an Irish breakfast before, recent patrons highly recommend trying your first here at The Fitz bar and restaurant. Once you've had your fill of Manhattan's memorable sights and sounds, retire to your clean, spacious digs, where you'll find deluxe amenities like thick bathrobes and modern conveniences like an iPod docking station and a flat-screen TV. The only downside, according to a few recent visitors, is the steep Wi-Fi charges ($14.95 a day). But apart from this slight drawback, most report a pleasant stay overall thanks to the warm, gracious hotel staff.

Guest Rooms

While the hotel exudes Irish charm, there's nothing particularly Irish about the guest rooms. All feature the same chocolate leather headboard, white linens and camel brown accents. Room floor plans are almost evenly split between two styles: Deluxe Rooms and Deluxe Suites (the difference being a little more space with a separate living area, a pullout couch, sink and minifridge in the Suites). There are also six Presidential Suites on the property.
