I Found My Perfect Match
at the Mansfield Hotel in New York
A love letter to my
favourite New York Hotel
By Madelyn Miller
 If
only I could find a man I love as much as the MANSFIELD HOTEL. A man who
understood my love of shopping, my need for an instant and constant
internet connection, my admiration for all things trendy and new….in
short, the Mansfied understands my needs, my wants, my desires
 If
I described myself as a single female shopaholic, my match would be
located exactly where the Mansfield is, a hop, step and a jump from Fifth
Avenue, halfway between Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord and Taylor. What a
politically correct location.
If I described myself as a value
conscious consumer, I felt I got more than my money’s worth at the
Mansfield with bonuses like city magazines, apples, free internet
connections and more.
 And
as far as being thoughtful, helpful and having a good sense of humor,…well
that describes the concierges perfectly. They were all young, trendy,
good-looking and the only thing I could not believe is how much they knew
about the city at their young age.
 What
a match. I stayed there a week (a very long term relationship between me
and a hotel) and felt so at home, I would love to have a long term
relationship.
This New York boutique hotel has
not only style, character and impeccable service, its central location
puts you steps away from Times Square, Broadway, and fabulous Fifth Avenue
shopping. Featuring numerous
Amenities.
 The
Mansfield Hotel, just off Fifth Avenue on elegant West 44th Street, boasts
the M Bar, which serves great specialty drinks and light food under a
beautiful doomed skylight, and the softly-illuminated Library Lounge,
where breakfast is served. The hotel provides complimentary high-speed
internet access, a complimentary 24-hour espressso/cappuccino/tea bar, a
complimentary video- , CD- and book-lending library, discounted rates on
overnight parking, complimentary incoming faxes, complimentary shoe shine
service, and a health cub affiliation. In-room amenities include color TV
with cable and VCR, a CD player, 2-line telephones with data-port and
voice mail, complimentary bottle spring water, Belgian cotton bed linens,
a down comforter, Frette bathrobes, Aveda bath amenities, and more
