ROGER SMITH HOTEL

Forget staying in a Hostel or a temporary apartment because for the same sort of price, you could be living it up in this boutique hotel in midtown Manhattan.
Located on the East side, the Roger Smith Hotel is right next door to BLISS SPA and only a $8 cab ride from the Port Authority bus and train terminal (directly linked by subway or shuttles from all major airports).

For me, this would've been enough as the excellent location is a giant blessing when it comes to saving on bus, subway or cab fares. However, what sets this place apart from the hundreds of hotels spread around Manhattan is it's room designs. Each room is individually decorated with 4 post beds and cute armchairs with matching wallpaper and bed sheets.








After your load of luggage is removed from your numb arms, Hotel staff present you with their complimentary breakfast buffet coupons. This is not like how you would imagine 'free' food. There is a bran cereal to die for and a selection of teas, coffees and juices that you can take away for later.
The bathroom amenities (which I am a huge sucker for and is normally the deciding factor of when I choose my hotels) is an excellent little bag of goodies with a mini travel sewing kit in case you forget your own.
For rainy nights or every night that you are too excited to sleep, there is a free movie hire service (VHS) that brings blockbusters to classics straight to your door.

I don't quite remember how I stumbled upon this place but I assume it was during one of the endless hours I spent trying to find the best bargain for a place to sleep.
