View From My Manhattan Apartment - Just Kidding

View from my hotel room at the top floor of the New York Helmsley.
According to this one-time experience (3 nights), I can recommend the New York Helmsley without reservations. Probably in the top 10 of all my hotel stays. Staff was friendly and competent. I asked if they had a room on a high floor, and they gave me this room on their top floor (43rd, I think), with this wonderful view. The room had complimentary WiFi, even though that was not advertised at the time of my booking. It probably ranks slightly below my experience at the Manhattan Novotel in 2003, mostly the view there had been even better. It was definitely in a different league than my stay at the Sharaton Manhattan, where I had been some 10 days earlier for about the same price!!
