For a comfortable stay branded by Marriott, the Residence Inn properties are great for families, since they provide suites with kitchenettes, free daily breakfast, and free Wi-Fi. This Manhattan location, in Midtown’s East Side, is located steps from Grand Central Station, and features connecting rooms to accommodate large families comfortably. Opened in 2013, the hotel features contemporary décor.

The Residence Inn features 211 rooms with fully equipped kitchens, including microwaves, refrigerators, cooktops, dishwashers and all cooking and eating utensils. Free Wi-Fi is also offered in every room, and other areas throughout the hotel. There are 30 suites for families, spread across 18 floors. The smallest rooms are king studios without sofa beds, which do not readily accommodate families. Cribs are available upon request.
