which one would you like best?
we like nice rooms with great location to Time Square, Central Park and Rockerfeller Center.
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza last year on Time Square and liked it, but we want to try something different this time.
Any suggestions?

Sofitel is a hole. i'd go with millenium. great location, but not right on b'way. nice rooms. good service.

I absolutely loved loved loved the Sofitel. I mean, I LOVED it.

It's classy and comfortable french hotel. Not stuffy - so don't get caught off guard by "french."

It's nice and quiet and away from the immediate Time Square, but close enough so that you can join the fracas when you want to.

The room service was like eating a gourmet meal. The staff was so friendly, always aying "Bonjour!" "Bon Soir!"

Should I go on? OK!

The bathrooms were pristine! Marble, of course, with separate shower and tub. Great bath products too.

The furniture, in all, was very tasteful and clean. Modern, and comfy. They're also pretty high tech. You can access the internet via Web tv, last I was there.

I will never ever stay at the Millenium, Hilton, W, Gramercy Park, etc. AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN. I'm a loyal fan of the Sofitel forever.

Let us know what you decide!

Um, ss, care to clarify what is so "holeish" about the Sofitel? It's a high caliber hotel.

Carmen, do a seach for "Millenium" on this board and you'll find terrible horror stories about noise, small rooms, etc.

Try the City Club hotel on 44th. New and different. Has one of Daniel Boulod's restaurants.
