The Murray Hill East Estates is a great place for an extended stay. I live in NYC and was having some work done on my apartment which required I moved out for 4 weeks. Yes the furnishings are a bit dated but the place was clean, quiet, the a/c worked well, and the kitchen appliances were all in good working order which was great for me because I did quite a bit of cooking. The front desk staff were also very pleasant to deal with.
