Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent, just a moment's walk from Grand Central Station, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were disappointing, very close together and strongly smelling of smoke. Despite the polite service, there were issues with executing basic requests like wake-up calls. The dining experience was tasty, with a delicious steak, but lacking in breakfast options. The facilities were standard.
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to many attractions, with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining options are a bit lackluster. The noise level is notable, but the high ceilings and luxury bathrooms add a touch of elegance to the experience.
The hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms were gorgeous and clean, but there were some maintenance issues. The service was very courteous and helpful, despite room issues. The location was great, allowing for easy access to iconic spots. The dining experience was delicious but had its drawbacks. Overall, a mixed experience with good and not-so-good aspects.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was amazing, just a short walk from Grand Central Station, making it easy to get around. The rooms, although spacious enough, were extremely dark due to the need to keep the curtains closed for warmth during winter. The service was helpful and friendly, and I appreciated the staff's personalized attention. The dining experience was a mix of hits and misses, with delicious options alongside some disappointing aspects. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in Manhattan.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious, which was a major plus for my stay with my two daughters. However, they lacked natural daylight due to small windows and were in rough condition overall with worn-out furniture and stained marble. Despite the shortcomings, it was one of the largest rooms I have ever stayed in NYC.
The hotel's location is fantastic, making it easy to get around with public transportation. The rooms were bigger than expected, clean, and comfortable, but some maintenance issues were noted. The service was friendly and helpful, especially when accommodating special requirements. Overall, a mixed experience with great location benefits but some cleanliness and pricing concerns.
The hotel is perfectly located for exploring both lower and upper Manhattan, offering a convenient base for visiting attractions. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service, especially from staff like Jasmine, Christian, and the housekeeper, is exceptionally helpful and friendly. The dining experience was delicious, though not buffet-style but à la carte. The location is ideal for easy access to Bryant Park, Times Square, and Broadway, making it a superb choice for travelers wanting a central mid-town location.
My stay was overall pleasant, but there were a few drawbacks. The room in this New York City hotel was quite dark and of a lower standard than expected for a supposed 4-star rating. The one-ply toilet paper wasn't exactly what I had in mind for a comfortable stay.
The hotel had a great location near Grand Central station, making it easy to access tourist attractions while being away from the busyness of Times Square. The rooms, although spacious, could use a renovation and were a bit dark due to the need to conserve heat. The service was top-notch, with attentive and accommodating staff. However, the dining options were a bit limited and could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was excellent value for New York City, especially on a holiday weekend. The location was great as well, although it was a little stuffy due to the unusually warm weather during my visit.
