Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan/Upper East Side

10/10 Excellent
"This location is perfect for those with families, especially younger children. It's close enough to the subway lines (6, Q), but feels like it's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Lexington. We lived in this neighborhood for 5+ years and always told our friends and family to book this hotel. We're glad that it hasn't changed over the years."
