EuroCheapo review print this page

Part of the tiny New York Inns hotel chain (along with fellow editors’ pick Union Square Inn), Murray Hill Inn is a relatively characterless 45-room hotel.

Rooms are standard neutral numbers, 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. Gleaming bathrooms are sleek, with glass-walled showers and shiny tiles.

Murray Hill Inn is located on the edge of its namesake neighborhood, a generally quiet piece of Manhattan’s East Side. The hotel’s clientele consists largely of European tourists, some no doubt happy to have found a suitably quiet corner of Manhattan.

All but four rooms at Murray Hill Inn have private bathrooms. Nightly rates are reasonable, though not rock-bottom by any means. Wi-Fi is available for a charge.

About the Murray Hill Inn neighborhood

Midtown East begins at Fifth Avenue and works east toward the water, encompassing the residential (and reviving) Murray Hill along the way. More business-oriented than Midtown West, Midtown East is home to many of New York's biggest and best law firms, investment firms, publishing houses, and advertising agencies, which fill up the many skyscrapers linking the avenues.

Still, there are plenty of noteworthy tourist sights in Midtown East, including Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations headquarters, Trump Tower, the Chrysler Building, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Midtown East is also somewhat of a shopping haven. The flagship Saks Fifth Avenue store is located here, as are Takashimaya, Chanel, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Niketown … Basically, if it isn't in Midtown East, then it's a few blocks north in the Upper East Side.

Not known for its nightlife, Midtown East is, at least, not dead after dark. Remember all those skyscrapers? Well their occupants begin to fill up Midtown East's bars, pubs, and steakhouses after office hours, keeping the neighborhood somewhat lively with suits, slacks, and skirts letting off steam. This neighborhood also offers easy access to Central Park and the many museums of the Upper East Side.
