Sent a message a few hours prior to check in to see if we were able to keep our bags at the hotel while we wait for our room to be ready… no response.

Sent a message a few hours prior to check in to see if we were able to keep our bags at the hotel while we wait for our room to be ready… no response. Show up around 1:30 to drop off our bags and they let us know that our room will be ready by at the latest 4. So, we come back around 3:20-3:30. Room not ready. Someone else was trying to do “early check in” (which was extra pay) but didn’t even get a room key until 3:45. Once they got a room, they went in and the hotel was using it to store other guests luggage . Seriously???? It is now 4:10 and the front desk guy said the room is not ready he would tell housekeeping to “put a pep in their step”, which should’ve happened hours ago when we dropped off our bags and were guaranteed a check in by the latest at 4:00. People piling up in the lobby waiting for their rooms to be ready. No accommodations, no accountability. Completely unexpected and unacceptable. The most unprofessional and very unorganized service and hotel I’ve ever been to. Do not book at this hotel.

I went for a short 4 day trip and stayed for the amazing location, read that it was newly renovated and had the hopes it had changed since last visit (2017) but it seemed the same to me, Rooms, Lobby, everything.

I went for a short 4 day trip and stayed for the amazing location, read that it was newly renovated and had the hopes it had changed since last visit (2017) but it seemed the same to me, Rooms, Lobby, everything.
If you ask me all the money goes for location and kitchens. Beds are not confortable, only 3 pillows on a King bed and bathrooms are very dated, for the price of the night you at least expect better and cleaner looking ones. Shower had a curtain, and the space was crowded for the size of the room.
At 9am they started working on a remodeling of nearby room with very loud noises. I had to call reception and ask for the noise, they said was going to be short but it it wasn't, It was still going on at noon, the was also a lot of dust on the corridor.

Good location, but...

The location was close to Central Park and also the Subway. Staff were friendly. For a family of five, the space was good. We had two queen beds and a sofa sleeper in the living area in the apartment suite. There is not enough lighting in the bedroom. You needed to pull up the privacy shades to get decent lighting. Also there was no air…

The location was close to Central Park and also the Subway. Staff were friendly. For a family of five, the space was good. We had two queen beds and a sofa sleeper in the living area in the apartment suite. There is not enough lighting in the bedroom. You needed to pull up the privacy shades to get decent lighting. Also there was no air conditioning. We asked but they said the air conditioning for the entire hotel had not been turned on yet. It was 85F and humid. New York never sleeps, and in our room on the 5th floor facing the street, you do not get to sleep either. It was noisy. Garbage trucks, delivery trucks parked outside, a crane doing some hoisting, some other service vehicle suctioning something, and even emergency vehicles outside. Granted it was timing of our stay, but if you choose to stay here, ask for a quiet room in the back of the hotel. Would stay here again with a family, as long as it was in a room away from the street.

Big rooms, excellent location

Nice hotel with an excellent location, close to several metro stations and within walking distance of Central Park. Lots of restaurants nearby.

We liked having a small private kitchenette to eat lunch or warm up meals when we were tired of eating in restaurants.

Fantastic for us
Mar 19, 2025StevieggpWorcester, United Kingdom
We've stayed at other high end hotels in this city but this one we chose because of having our three girls
Great place with great facilities in a fantastic location
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff
They don’t mind you having takeaways delivered either
