Think about it. You have a dream break planned. Just a few days but youv'e got to get it right. The destination, the dates and yes, the budget. All the best deals are found on the web, fine but it can be misleading as to what you are actually buying into. I need not have worried. Sure there were other hotels slightly cheaper, but whats a few dollars more to ensure the best.
From check-in to check-out all I can say that our stay at the Millenium Broadway was a runaway sucess. There was the staff who smiled and chatted and practically jumped in the taxi with us to make sure we reached where ever. There was the bar,laid-back and again with the most friendly people for company. Now, I don't know about you but my wife and I are creatures of simple taste so the restaurant although busy was kinda beyond what we wanted food-wise. The menu was wide-ranging but I thought pictched at a certain Broadway clientele and with prices to boot.
It was our intention to use the hotels' associated leisure facilities and when we checked-in the reception told us to simply 'pick up the phone and leave the rest to us'!
Now here comes the best bit. This was to be our first visit to the USA. A very special, once in a life-event and as I said, had to be just right.Having booked the hotel painlessly on-line, some weeks later my wife and I watched a travel review of Manhatten in awe of the sky-line etc. Some weeks later I email the hotel to find out if I could possibly have a room with a view of the Chrysler Building and left it at that. So we arrive on sunny sping day, we get to this hotel slap, bang on Time Sq and then.....as if our jaws hadn't dropped enough we were shown to our room that seemed in the heavens, whereupon the bell boy slowly rolled back the curtains of this darken room to reveal a view of Manhatten that will stay with us until we die. The Chrysler taking centre stage. We both gasped and the bell boy left laughing again saying 'just pick up the phone if you need something'.
For anyone wanting a prime hotel on what must be one of the beat locations on the planet,do yourself a favour. Just book the Millenium.
As I said to the consierge on our departure 'see you soon', I meant it.
