I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, being right in Midtown and around the corner from Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, and 5th Avenue.

The dining options were more than satisfactory, with a nice assortment to kick start the day. The complimentary drinks in the evening were a lovely gesture. The only drawback was the limited dining options.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were very nice and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The view looking up-and-down Madison Ave was stunning, although I wish they had provided some pen and paper. Being on the corner, I had a decent view towards the NYPL from one window.

The hotel is nestled in a charming location, perfect for a short Manhattan stay. The rooms, while nice, felt a bit snug with the sofa bed out for our son. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly helpful and attentive. The convenient location, just a stone's throw away from Times Square, enhances the overall experience. The dining experience, though good, could benefit from more variety in the breakfast options.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The small but comfortable room was a haven for any anthropology enthusiast, with countless library books neatly organized in every nook and cranny. The themed room, 804, based on dramatic plays, added a touch of elegance to the stay. The service was extremely attentive and welcoming, making every interaction a pleasure. Despite the occasional disappointment of private parties limiting access to some areas, the central location near Grand Central Station, the NY Public Library, and Bryant Park was incredibly convenient. The dining experience was a highlight, with a relaxing ambiance and delicious homemade cakes to enjoy. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
