FAIRFIELD INN & SUITES BY MARRIOTT NEW YORK MANHATTAN/CENTRAL PARK, New York

The hotel sits on a quiet street in a safe, central area of Manhattan. Central Park is 965 metres away, and Columbus Circle - with subway (lines A, B, C, D, 1) and bus stops - is 805 metres. The Broadway theatre district is a 25-minute walk, and the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is 1 km. Lincoln Center is 805 metres, and the Hudson River Piers are within a 10-minute walk. Numerous restaurants, shops (CVS two blocks away), and cafés are on the surrounding blocks. For longer journeys, JFK Airport is 27 km and LaGuardia is 12 km; the hotel can arrange a paid car service, but no shuttle is available. The area is well-served by public transport, making a car unnecessary for most visitors.

All rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with a bath or shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The rooms are small (typical for NYC) but well-maintained, with a mini-fridge, coffee maker, safe, desk, and flat-screen TV with Netflix streaming. Wardrobe space is limited - a mini-closet. King rooms may offer city views if reserved as a 'king view' room. Rooms with two double beds are available for families; no rollaway beds or sofa beds. Some rooms on lower floors (cellar level) are accessible without using the elevator for those who prefer stairs. The air conditioning can be noisy and drafts directly on the bed, and windows may be drafty in cold weather. The hotel has mobility-accessible rooms with roll-in showers and grab rails.

Breakfast is included for all registered guests and served daily from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the basement-level dining room. The buffet offers hot sandwiches, scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, cereals, fresh pastries, yogurt, whole fruits, juices, and coffee. The selection remains consistent throughout the stay, but is generally well-stocked and replenished. Breakfast is served on disposable plates with plastic cutlery, and the dining room can become crowded during peak hours (around 8-9 AM). The hotel's lobby bar, Bar 58, serves cocktails, wine, beer, and snacks in a lively space. A small on-site market sells drinks, snacks, and sundries. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner; however, many dining options - from pizza to sit-down restaurants - are within a 5-minute walk.

The fitness centre is accessible with a room key 24 hours a day and includes cardio and strength equipment. The hotel does not have a swimming pool, spa, or wellness centre. For outdoor leisure, Central Park is a 10-minute walk away, and the Hudson River Piers offer a running path. The hotel's location also provides easy access to Lincoln Center and the Museum of Arts and Design.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, with a premium paid upgrade available. The front desk operates 24 hours and can assist with taxi bookings, restaurant recommendations, and early check-in or late checkout requests (subject to availability and fees). Business centre with free fax/photocopying is accessible. Daily housekeeping is provided; additional items like dry cleaning are available for a fee. The hotel is fully accessible: service animals welcome, main entrance and lift accessible, mobility-friendly rooms with roll-in showers and grab rails, TTY/TTD compatible.
