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.

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.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and bright with fantastic amenities like a fridge, safe, and coffee maker. The view of the Empire State Building was breathtaking. The service was top-notch with friendly staff, but there was a bit of a hiccup with room requests. The location in Murray Hill was perfect for exploring the city, although there were some noise disturbances at night. The dining experience was great, especially ordering through room service, and the facilities were excellent overall.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The deluxe suite was very comfortable, clean, and spacious, and a big plus was that it was ready hours early. The service was excellent overall, although one staff member was a bit abrupt and forgot to book my emergency airport transfer. The location was the highlight, with an awesome rooftop bar boasting amazing views of the Empire State Building and Manhattan skyline, and all attractions, including Grand Central Station and good value restaurants, just a few blocks away. The dining experience was pleasant, especially at Scottys Diner and the Murray Hill Market, but having to show ID to charge to my room at an adjoining restaurant was a slight inconvenience.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with every amenity required but can be unbearably hot due to facing Lexington Ave and street noise. The staff is very friendly and helpful, although there is a 25% surcharge for a mandatory resort fee. The location is great, centrally located near Grand Central Station and Times Square, but it may not be ideal for those seeking a quiet residential area. The dining experience is convenient with options delivered to the room, but ordering can be a bit complicated. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor drawbacks.
