Coming to New York for the first time, on business...

Coming to New York for the first time, on business, I was overwhelmed by the hotel options available to me. The Shelburne popped out as a perfect location in my budget, and I wasn't let down. Less than 5 minutes away from 5th Ave, and only a 15 walk to Times Square/Broadway, it met all of my tourist needs. The rooms were clean and updated. The beds were firm but comfy. I did find the pillows to be a little soft and shapeless, but not soon after I stumbled across a "pillow menu" to find one that fit me perfectly. I noticed some signs age in the washroom, some staining on the walls and dirty grouting. But nothing that would stop me from staying here again, or recommending the Shelburne to anyone traveling here.
