My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and nicely refurbished, which was great. However, the service was a bit off-putting at times despite some genuinely friendly staff members. The location was fantastic, close to Grand Central Station, but it could get noisy at night. The dining options were limited and somewhat frustrating. Overall, it was a decent stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel is centrally located just a few blocks from Grand Central Station, offering a comfortable stay with convenient phone charging areas and a large meeting table. The rooms were initially in need of some repairs, but after a complaint, they were cleaned thoroughly to a good standard. The service was excellent, especially from Andy who listened attentively to our needs and recommended a great local dining spot. The location is very central, near many attractions and away from the crowds of midtown. However, the initial room condition could be improved, and some broken items needed attention.

I had a great experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious with a lovely walk-in shower, always well-maintained, and the location is awesome. However, there was a situation next door with a long-term resident causing disruptions late at night. The bedroom, large living room, and kitchenette setup was convenient and comfortable.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were lovely, and I had a full suite to myself with separate bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and en-suite—definitely great value for the money. The service was exceptional, and the staff even went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The location was excellent, close to many attractions, and the dining experience was delightful. However, the facilities could use a bit of improvement.

The hotel had wonderfully kept rooms with a wonderful view and spacious layout, although they were a bit smaller, the large windows and small balcony brought in plenty of light. The service was friendly and very helpful, assisting with directions and travel tips. The location was super convenient, allowing easy access to all tourist attractions. The dining experience, while excellent, was a bit pricey and required ID for charging to the room. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfying.
