On the Ave Hotel

On the Ave Hotel Review

This tranquil Upper West Side property is also home to the Upper West Side branch of the beloved 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 outfitted 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.
