    Truly enjoyed the original-style building and our tastefully decorated and well priced room with double beds. The breakfast was free and amazing as expected with beverage, '' grab plus NYC prices. The location was ideal for walking around An Art Deco - Style Skyscraper.

    Excellent, central location. Good beds. Clean room. Helpful crew to book restaurants, transport, etc.

    As a family room the room was very small and the breakfast we had booked was only basic (grab and go). Facilities - bar / restaurant - lean. That really should be better at this level.

    spacious room
    convenient location

    Comfortable and spacious room with a massive bed that feels custom-made for a solid night's sleep. Conveniently located near public transportation, it's just a short stroll from major attractions.

    Breakfast seating felt chaotic, with a line, made grabbing a bite more of a chore than a pleasure. Housekeeping could use some consistency. On one day, the bathroom wasn't fully stocked with necessities, which detracted from the experience.

    The hotel was near of all attractions of NYC. (Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, 5th.Avenue....). Kind staff. Wonderfull view from 40th floor and we didn't hear any noice from the streets. The room was cleaned every day and we liked the breakfast. Very comfortable beds !

    The equipment of bathroom needs reconstruction and the furniture of the room could be more modern. The porter required tip for luggage.

    The Room was Specious as seen in the Pictures and the Double Bed was Large enough also as seen in the pictures.

    The Receptionists were very Distant. Not very Helpful and always moody. Not willing to answer questions always looking at their computer not maintaining eye conduct in order not to answer question.Very Very rude. Breakfast was very very poor Comparing to the price you pay.

    Really enjoyed our stay. We came here with our daughter. Location: the hotel was really close to Grand Central / Metro and the Westin Grand Central in October 2018 and the grand central terminal and the 5th avenue. And there was Sandwicherie with short-orders only a short distance to the venue, super convenient.
