The Hotel at Fifth Avenue

Lots of space. Good location in Korea Town. 20 minutes walk to many of the Broadway theaters and 1 min walk away from the nearest metro station. Good amount of storage. Rooftop bar - drinks are nothing special but cool area to hang out with a view of the Empire State Building. Bag storage is available but we were able to check in an hour early, which was convenient.

Location was great!

I stayed in room 906 on the 9th floor and got a room at the back with a view of roofing equipment (as always), but I must say I was very impressed with this hotel. From check-in, the gentlemen was so friendly and even made a joke, which lighened my droopy jet-lagged mood. Surprisingly, the security deposit was minimal compared to the previous hotels I've stayed. For safety, there are security stationed in the lobby area. The hallways are very well lit and clean, and the room was very big (compared to previous hotels where I stayed), it was beautiful, clean, well lit, and had all the amenities as listed in the hotel ad. There is also a small gym in the basement, which I got to use once. Most of the staff had a great attitude toward guests. There was an African American young man (may be a security) who held an umbrella over me and my friend's head and individually walked us to our Lyft waiting outside in the pouring rain. We were so grateful. Thank you, sir. The housekeeping staff did a superb job with the daily cleaning, organizing, and restocking the room with toiletries and coffee packages, and although I didn't have much cash to leave them a tip, they kept on cleaning the room faithfully and beautifully every day. The AC in the room stopped working by the 3rd day into my stay, so the room became very hot. However, I never reported it until the day before I checked out, so it was my fault for enduring the prolonged discomfort, because when I eventually reported it, it was sorted in less than 5 minutes.

The location was ideal. Although at night it was bonkers it’s in the heart of Korea town so it was busy all the time. The trash gets put out at night so at the time the street is lined with bin bags etc. That didn’t put us off though. We literally were only in the room to sleep and get showered etc so spent minimal time in the hotel. The lobby area was fine and it’s easy to get to and only a block or 2 away from the ESB.

Clean and convenient... the staff was friendly and accommodating. I couldn't get the wireless on my laptop to work and all I had to do was ask the desk. They gave me a Ethernet cable and got me online right away. Complimentary coffee in the morning and filtered water 24/7 on the lower level. Another plus was the ice machine on floor 4. Subway is a block away. Close to everything midtown.
