Review of 'AFFINIA DUMONT'
25 February 2006
We are a young couple who stayed at the Affinia Dumont for five nights during February 2006. This hotel is presented as a fitness hotel. This means they offer a gym (No pool) for you to exercise in during your stay. They will also provide, free of charge, an exercise pack for your room or suite. These packs centre on a particular theme such as Yoga or Weight Training. The rooms appear brand new and are obviously well kept.
They offer a large room in which to sleep (A major plus against other NYC hotels) with two queen size beds in a studio suite. The bathroom is again large with a bath and shower and a large wall mirror. All the rooms come with a small kitchen with appliances such as: cooker, fridge freezer, microwave and coffee maker. This kitchen is ideal if you have small children and you need to provide food as and when. The view from the windows can be great so ask for a high floor. The television is large and offers several high end channels such as HBO and childrens entertainment, so there is plenty to watch if you decide to stay in. The room also has a small electronic safe for any valuables which is free of charge.
The location of the hotel is ideal being 4 blocks away from the Empire State Building and one block from 33rd Street subway. If you fly in from JFK the hotel is not far away from the tunnel which leads to the highway towards the airport. Around the hotel there are several bars and restaurants and various grocery shops which are ideal for getting supplies for the room.
The staff at the hotel are great and if you need anything such as a restaurant recommendation of how to get to somewhere just ask and they will help. Once a week the hotel has a meet the staff session with free wine, cheese and a massage!
To conclude this is an excellent hotel with an excellent location and staff whom bend over backwards to ensure your have a great stay.
