Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel provided a cozy and quiet stay with spacious rooms that easily accommodated all four of us. The great jazz bar was a pleasant surprise amidst the peaceful atmosphere. Although the location was ideal for accessing Grand Central Station, it lacked nearby attractions for leisure guests.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, but with some minor issues like a single bathrobe for couples and non-working wifi. The staff is polite and accommodating, and the location is perfect for exploring downtown Manhattan. The dining experience includes both American and Japanese options at a reasonable price. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, right over Park Avenue, offering stunning views of the Empire State Building. The rooms were incredibly quiet, providing a peaceful retreat with zero street noise. However, the only downside was the lack of storage space for suitcases. The service was top-notch, with the staff being kind, helpful, and efficiently assisting with any needs. Additionally, the convenient location made it easy to explore the city and return for a quick break before heading out again. The dining experience, accompanied by live music, was sumptuous, although the options were limited in the room. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was truly pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a lovely view of the Empire State Building. The service was exceptional with attentive staff willing to go the extra mile. The location was superb, providing easy access to various attractions in Manhattan. However, the dining experience was a bit pricey for what was offered.
