Affinia Gardens

We stayed in a one bedroom terrace apartment. If you are visiting NYC as a tourist, I’m not sure why you would need this much space. If you are visiting for medical care, this place is a life saver. We stayed here after my daughter’s surgery and were SO happy to have a large space because she was bed ridden for a few days. It is located in a safe, quiet area. The beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly. The AC worked very well. The carpet is a little dingy, but most hotel are and it looks like they are in the process of replacing the flooring anyways. I highly recommend this place if you need space or are having medical care, or even just want something quiet and affordable on the UES.

Rooms are spacious and light, and clean. However, when I found out that dogs stay in the rooms, I asked for a room that had been animal free. Apparently the hotel do not keep a section of the hotel that has never had animals in, but I was assured that the rooms were thoroughly cleaned after a dog has been in there with its owner. I was a bit wary as I know many dog owners allow their dog to sleep on their bed with them, but I was led to believe quilts and everything were thoroughly cleaned! I stayed for almost a week, and by the end of my visit I had about 10 spots on my right thigh and leg, that were red and itchy. I saw a dermatologist when I returned to the UK, and she diagnosed the spots were flea bites!!! I have never had flea bites in my life. I think it is atrocious that you pay for a supposed upmarket accommodation, and that this happens as a consequence of sloppy, 'not caring' management. In the UK, hotels, have separate parts that remain animal free for those guests that prefer that. I was not expecting this to happen, but now it has I ask that you consider changing your policy to one that accommodates all guests, and their wishes. There are many people, while they still love dogs, do not choose to share their bed, their bedroom, or even their couch with a dog.

Good sized rooms, clean, good location for Central Park. Was there for a work trip so well located in that regard. I’d stay again
