Location was exemplary for my work trip.
The staff was very helpful since my flight arrived late at night and not all the train lines and subway lines were running. So, I had a very late check in. I was working at the American Museum of Natural History the following day and the location was perfect...out the door and across the street.

Loved the Excelsior
Having stayed previous visits at small apartment rentals, I was a bit nervous the Excelsior rooms would be too small and noise from the street and hallways would be a bother. Not so! My friend and I stayed 6 nights on the 15th floor in a room on the back side. There was some day time street noise even on the 15th floor and I suspect rooms facing 81 Street would be quite noisy. The room had two comfortable double beds (no bedbugs), a small closet with plenty of hangers and a surprisingly big well stocked bathroom. We never heard noise from the adjoining rooms or the hallway. The location on the C line and crosstown bus is ideal for getting to both the theatre district and museum mile. Highly recommend the Excelsior.

Perfect to Explore Manhattan
The accommodations and location are perfect for exploring the city! The staff was helpful, and the free upgrade to a suite made our stay even better. While a view of the Hayden Planetarium would have been nice, the suite more than made up for the lack of view. This hotel has a fantastic modern with art deco ambiance, and is the perfect location for seeing and doing Manhattan! Just steps away from Central Park and the subway, it is nestled in a very nice, upscale residential neighborhood with good local eateries. Great place to come back to after a long day of battling the crowds! Loved that it was not in a tourist area, and got to feel like a local (almost)! Bathrooms are clean and nice, but sized for what you would expect in NYC.

So Much Noise
Couldn't sleep. Between the ice machine in the hallway & what sounded like the HVAC system, there was constant noise. Really, non-stop! Also you can't get heat unless the temp drops below 60.

OK
Faces the Museum of Natural History (though our room faced a brick wall). Lots of dark wood in lobby and elevator. Room was dated. Floors creaked loudly. Mattresses were soggy. No hot water first morning. Three-legged table with glasses on it toppled over when brushed - whose great idea was that? But room was clean, quiet and spacious (2 full beds), bathroom was brightly tiled, towels were plush and new. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would probably stay again.

loved this hotel
wonderful location; nice room with excellent lighting (often found lighting to be poor in many other hotels so I wanted to comment on the excellent lighting); only negative were the towels in the bathroom which had a very rough texture --- I really did not like that.
