The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Today, I booked a larger room (28 sqm), which was much more comfortable than the smaller ones, though of course, the price was also significantly higher. The hotel is brand new, and the facilities are excellent. The shower, in particular, had fantastic water pressure. The soundproofing in the room was also good, and there was a coffee machine. Breakfast was a bit basic. However, most hotels below four stars in New York don't offer breakfast, so you usually have to go out and find food yourself. The surrounding area isn't as good as south of 121st Street, but it's very convenient to take the subway downtown.

Chose this new hotel because it's close to Columbia University; you can take one subway stop or walk there. However, it's located in Harlem, so it's best not to go out at night.

Clean and tidy, perfect for business travelers.
