Overall, it was a good stay, as the hotel is very well located. The only downside was the bathroom cleanliness — there was some mold in the shower area and a strong urine smell that was already present when we arrived and persisted throughout our stay. Also, the toilet seat was loose and remained that way — it seems no one took the time to fix it… Read more

The bed comfortable The air conditioner and lights work so good. The shower was a little small about the width of a person. I had a great view of the station and town. The room door is heavy. The people who work there are wonderful. Everything is just about at your fingertips when you stay at Grand Central Hyatt in Manhattan NY.

The aircon in our room was not good, we had to prop the door open to let cooler air in from the functional aircon in the hallways.… Read more
The main areas of the hotel were great but the room itself needed a deep clean, there was substantial dust behind everything, we spilt some water on the floor and had to wipe it up with a towel which came up filthy. The aircon in our room was not good, we had to prop the door open to let cooler air in from the functional aircon in the hallways. We are also not warned by our travel company that a $400 deposit was required when checking in. Fix the aircon and give the room a through clean and this would be a great hotel, as the location is excellent and then staff were incredibly helpful. Read less

ok hotel room, no hallway, bed is facing the door, no privacy!! prime location for subway transfer etc, but the room is the worst in all the Hyatt we have ever stayed.. Market place staff so rude and arrogant. I would rather walk a few blocks to stay in better hotel
