Good Location.

Good location and close to pretty much most of the things you want to see: Metropolitan Museum, MoMa, Guggenheim, Central Park, Empire State Builiding, Time Square, 5th Ave. It is about $12.00 taxi ride to the SoHo, Meat Packing, and Chinatown districts.

overpriced for what you get

the hotel was average at best. you need to know there will be nothing exceptional about your stay here. location is good. i had someone's room service dishes in the hall for over a day. two elevators service the whole hotel....it can take awhile to get down to the lobby. rooms were ok...they have yet to update televsions to flat screens.

Great girl's getaway

A very trendy place but it's not in your face about it. Exceptionally clean space. Wonderfully large bathroom, which was fantastic for two girls who love their hot showers and soaking baths. Bed was firmer than my personal preference, but hotels usually are. My one quibble is the elevators should be bigger and perhaps a third one for the people staying at the hotel - they got a bit clogged up in the mornings. Good location, in the middle of 2 busy avenues but the street itself wasn't crazy. I would stay here again.

The Russian Tea Room is just a few blocks away and it's great for fine dining with a pre and post theater prixe fixe menu in addition to their regular delicious offerings.

Pleasant surprise!

I was so impressed with the incredible modern yet comfortable room... and in awe of the picture window in the shower that looked down 52nd street. The entire experience was top notch and I will repeat at any price!

Great room, great view!

I ended up with a terrific room--or should I say suite! It was definitely more room than I needed, but I really liked it. The bed was great and the view was fantastic! Everything I needed was in within walking distance--even a grocery store.

Everything you need or want is within a few blocks--Times Square, Radio City Music Hall (I could see the marquee from my room on the 38th floor), Rockafeller Center (great subway connection) and Fifth Avenue. Central Park is an easy walk away, too.

GREAT hotel! GREAT Room! GREAT Staff!

We were upgraded to a suite! Didn't expect it, but WOW!! Opened the door Sat. morning and there was a paper waiting outside. Went down stairs. Complimentary breakfast was included! -- and the coffee was good. Bagel, juice, etc. Great location. Could not hear any noice from the street. Fantastic place to stay -- could walk to see shows, go out to dinner, etc. We were up there to go "college shopping" -- and did some other shopping too! We will stay there again.

Spacious, spartan accomodations

We got to the hotel 45 minutes before the check in time and were told come back in 1 hour. Fair enough. So we went out and did some stuff and got back at 6:15pm, only to be told our room was not ready yet. Since we had a 7pm dinner reservation, that was not acceptable. Finally, after about 15 minute wait and some complaining, we were allowed to check in. The room and hallways were shabby, but the room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The TV remote didn't work, but since we were only staying one night it wasn't worth the effort of trying to get it fixed. Since we had had a previous problem with this hotel not honoring a reservation a couple of years ago, I doubt we will ever consider it again.

Flatotel delight

From the moment we arrived staff made us feel like guests. Nothing was too much bother. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The location was excellent being near everything but in a quieter street. I would go back and would have no hesitation in recommending to a friend.
