I'm headed back to visit my daughter in New York, and I want to stay in a hotel that is as close to her dorm apartment as possible....which means somewhere close to 70th & Broadway. I don't need anything fancy. Just somewhere clean, safe and reasonably priced.

I stayed at On The Ave this past summer, and I was very satisfied. I just thought there might be a comparable place even closer to my daughter's place. I found the Comfort Inn CPW, but some of the reviews are scary.

Any suggestions out there? Does anyone know anything about the Comfort Inn?

Can't wait to get back to NYC.

Have you looked at The Mayflower? It isn't on Broadway but it does overlook the park.

The On The Ave is as close to 70th and Broadway as the Comfort Inn. You may have been told it is only two blocks from CPW to Broadway but they are two very long blocks. The distance is approximately the same as walking 6 north/south blocks.

Check out the Beacon on 75th & Broadway. I think I recall many people prefer it to On the Ave.

That Comfort Inn was AWFUL.

The room was the tiniest we've ever stayed in, and that's going some. There was not quite enough room to open the door without bumping into the bed, which was pushed up against the opposite wall, and not quite enough room to open the bathroom door (a very small door) without bumping into the foot of the bed. The closet was too shallow for a hanger to fit.

The hotel was noisy, the elevator broke (we were on the 10th floor), the maid walked in on us without knocking--twice.
