On the Ave Hotel

Fodor's Review:

This tranquil Upper West Side property is a foodie's delight, as it's home to a new brunch spot from Tom Valenti and the Upper West Side branch of Zak Pelaccio's beloved (and tiny) Fatty Crab. Inside, the hotel is tasteful and modern with the occasional swath of color from a red chair or green drapes. Rooms aren't especially big in relative terms—they start at 240 square feet—but for the price, they are quite spacious. Plus, they're kitted out with Aeron chairs, flat-screen TVs, and Trump-style black marble bathrooms. Nickel-and-dime charges for Internet, valet parking, and the use of a mini-refrigerator are a bit frustrating, however. Suites and lofts have impressive views of Central Park, and the proximity to Lincoln Center is another plus. Pros: great dining options; excellent value. Cons: small charges add up; location not ideal for all NYC visitors.
