Says The Bedford has been around for a long time and
has been through about every incarnation a hotel can have in NYC.
Back in August '99 we said, "Regretfully, this incarnation is
not one of its best." That was when new management was just
embarking on an extensive renovation project. Things looked
promising as they started with the public areas, redoing the lobby
in a richly-furnished, traditional style. It's taken them awhile,
but it seems as if the Bedford is back on track to being a pretty
good New York City hotel. Trying to hark back to the days when F
Scott Fitzgerald or the Roosevelts (Eleanor and Franklin) might
visit, the last remodeling has spiffed up the rooms with a, hmm,
let's call it "hotel-traditional" decor. The furnishings
themselves are not high-end, think mid-scale motel, but are
comfortable enough to  return
to after a day or night on the town. Some folks might be taken aback
calling a converted closet a kitchenette, but this is just what many
Manhattan apartment dwellers have as their full kitchen facilities;
it's enough to make coffee and tea, simple snacks and the like. One
of the best features of the Bedford is its just-off Murray Hill
location, two blocks south of Grand Central Terminal. For business
travelers it is very convenient to all of the major business
headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. Surprisingly, it is very popular
with budget-conscious business people exhibiting or attending shows
at the Javits Convention Center as it's just short cab or bus ride
across town. Leisure travelers will find it perfect as a base for
sightseeing as the hotel is within walking distance of most major
Midtown sights and attractions including the United Nations,
Rockefeller Center and the Theater District. The neighborhood offers
many dining options, from fine, upscale restaurants to neighborhood
haunts along the avenues in Murray Hill
