Skyline HotelEditor's Pick

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors email this page

Sitting on the far west side of Manhattan, the three-star Skyline Hotel looks a bit out of place. From the outside, it bears resemblance to a highway-style motor lodge. Inside, the atmosphere is unmistakably that of a big city hotel. A steady stream of tour groups keeps the concierge busy, and various tour guides have their hands full, sustaining a veritable hive-like degree of activity.

Skyline’s 232 rooms sport the bold and brand new look of their 2010 renovation. Rooms feature plump duvets and a simple design palette, with solid color schemes in lieu of busy patterns. In addition to telephones and satellite TV, all rooms have safes and refrigerators, making Skyline a good choice for self-catering Broadway fans who want to hunker down for a bit. Bathrooms play with beiges and browns and feature gleaming black marble countertops.

Skyline Hotel’s crowning glory is its indoor penthouse pool, with glorious views to the north and south. Before you start fantasizing about popping up for a swim at any hour, however, know that hotel guests share the pool with scheduled swimming students (ask ahead).

Wi-Fi is available for an additional charge.
