Murray Hill InnEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Part of the tiny New York Inns hotel chain (along with fellow editor’s pick Union Square Inn), the two-star Murray Hill Inn is a relatively characterless property located on the edge of its namesake neighborhood, a generally quiet piece of Manhattan’s East Side.

The Inn’s 45 rooms are standard, neutral affairs, with furniture in light wood and a color scheme that veers toward the autumnal with its many yellows, browns and oranges. Enormous mirrors over beds have the effect of opening rooms and making them feel more spacious. Air conditioning, television and phones are available in all rooms. All but four rooms at Murray Hill Inn have private bathrooms, which are clean and sleek, with glass-walled showers and shiny tiles.

The hotel’s clientele consists largely of European tourists, some no doubt happy to have found a suitably quiet corner of Manhattan. Nightly rates are reasonable, though not rock-bottom by any means. Wi-Fi is available for a charge. Note that this is a walk-up building without an elevator.
