The 120-room Milburn, located in the thick of the Upper West Side, is an interesting midrange property with a number of features that set it apart from the pack. The lobby lounge, with its soft lights and hushed quality, feels like a very different sort of retro than the hotel marquee's font, which looks like a 1980s throwback.
Rooms are quite tasteful, with matching bedspreads and curtains, plush wall-to-wall carpets. There is a sort of country estate-lite feel here, with classy floral patterns and framed reproductions of horses mid-gallop. New rooms all feature iPod docks and flat-screen television.
Bathrooms are fairly unremarkable, with standard-issue tiling and pedestal sinks with scalloped edges. Continental breakfast is included in the nightly rate.
Most rooms have gone through a hotel-wide renovation; as of our most recent visit (late 2009) a handful still feature pre-renovation décor, which is not quite as attractive as the renovation style.
The Milburn is a good choice for self-catering travelers, as all accommodations, from regular rooms to suites, have kitchenettes. In addition, there are several nice perks on offer: free Wi-Fi throughout, a small computer room, and an exercise room. Lastly, a neighborhood gym offers access to their indoor pool, on request.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Milburn Hotel neighborhood
More laid-back, and allegedly more intellectual, than its East-Side cousin, the Upper West Side is a largely residential area, filled with tall apartment buildings and stately brownstones. This area, which begins at Columbus Circle and ends at Morningside Heights, is home to the Lincoln Center, the American Museum of Natural History, and Columbia University. However, one of its greatest attributes may be its borders: sandwiched between the iconic Central Park and leisurely Riverside Park, greenery is never more than a few blocks away. Though a hip place during the '70s and '80s, when rents were actually affordable, the Upper West Side is much more moneyed now, filled with affluent families and strollers. Busy Broadway forms the commercial hub, with businesses catering to New Yorker's everyday needs. This, along with Amsterdam and Columbus avenues, is good place to find tasty, affordable eats.
Famous Harlem, whose importance as a historically African-American neighborhood cannot be matched, begins north of Morningside Heights. The Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and the Cloisters can all be found here. Despite its dangerous reputation, Harlem has become much safer... and much more popular with tourists. Gentrification, spurred on by a race for its beautiful brownstones, has brought change, for better or for worse.
