Newark airport is a pain...but it's not United's fault. The actual flight was just fine.

We have traditionally always stayed in the theater district area however more recently the area has changed. More homeless, dirtier and just not as enjoyable for us. We decided to stay more uptown in the central park area and the Orbitz site recommended the 1 Hotel Central Park. From the moment we checked in it was truly like a zen feeling and experience. Less hustle and bustle checking in, the staff was super friendly, attentive and helpful in every way from the check to the concierge. The room was modern (in a zen way), mini bar was stocked with wines, drinks and snacks. A coffee pod machine as well. The restaurant Jams, was excellent for breakfast and always packed! We HIGHLY recommend staying here and as a matter of fact tyhis will be our new go to staying in NYC.

Hyatt Centric Wall Street New York was a great stay for U/us. The hotel is in a quiet, convenient location with easy access to transit and nearby dining. The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was excellent, professional and attentive. I had flowers delivered to my room, and the hotel handled the delivery smoothly and thoughtfully, which was a great touch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.

Great stay. Good location and very convenient. We loved the vibe of the hotel and the service. Our only call-out is that there was only one working elevator and took a bit of time to get down to the lobby. Nevertheless, so glad we stayed here.

Amazing location and very friendly staff. The hotel and rooms are very clean. However, the bedding felt stiff and not very comfortable. The pull out sofa mattress is not comfortable at all.
