“Fab spacious room shame about the road noise”

Nov 01, 2025186356Alison

We stayed here as a family of 4 for the week. We picked this hotel as the rooms were big & had a kitchenette plus it was a central location for what we wanted to see while in NYC. The subway is straight opposite & there are lots of places to eat nearby. The hotel is beautiful & the staff were very friendly, we felt like valued guests. We had a suite with separate bedroom & it was huge. There were a few niggles hence the 4 stars. The main issue was our room (6th floor) faced onto Lexington which was very busy & noisy with traffic & sirens all night every night so we didn't sleep well at all. Plus the sofa bed wasn't made up on arrival & we had to ask twice & wait around 45 minutes for this to be done which was annoying given we'd had a long day travelling from the UK & we were tired as it was late. There were only enough plates, cups etc for 2 people on arrival, not 4 as stated, small niggle but the basics to get right as we did make use of the kitchenette for breakfast.

“Amazing boutique hotel”

Sep 21, 2025Mauiartist100

This hotel was a diamond we found almost by accident. This boutique hotel is 5 star. The staff are very professional and friendly. The rooms are large for NYC. The security is excellent as is the location.

“Wonderful stay...”

Sep 16, 2025Adventure07519820495

Just stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Booked a 1 bedroom with separate living room on the 15th floor and everything was near perfect. Quiet, very clean, excellent air conditioning, amazing housekeeping, front desk and bellmen. Great decor and ambience-- rooms are nicely sized and the bathrooms (while small) are nicely appointed with beautiful tile, marble and shower/faucets. Highly recommend!
