Staff was friendly and helpful every time we spoke with them and asked questions. The room and bathroom were very clean. They have small game room with a foosball and ping pong table on the first floor. On the sub-level floor, there’s a small bar and lounge where you can order breakfast and dinner from.
The freshly squeezed orange juice was the highlight of my breakfast, I had two glasses of it. I ordered the bacon, egg, cheese biscuit breakfast sandwich and coffee, they weren’t great. They don’t use real eggs. Order something else or walk around the corner and find a cafe or deli. The snack bar was limited, peanut m&ms, m&ms, KitKat, Reese’s butter cups, Pringle’s, few other options of chips, and sodas. Coffee is also option in the snack bar, but it’s hotel coffee, they had no creamer options when I checked to mask the taste.
Location is in a great spot if you’re planning to see an event at the Hammerstein Ballroom at Manhattan Center. This hotel faces the back of that building. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the entrance. Within 5-10 minutes you can walk to a great pizzeria called Vito’s, few Asian restaurants, Cafe, and across the street from the Manhattan Center there’s a Jimmy John’s, Dunkin, Five Guys, and Chipotle. There’s also an AMC movie theater if you’re up for a movie. There are tons of gift shops in every direction. It took me about 15-20 minutes to walk from the hotel to Macy’s on 34th Street and about the same time to stop at a nearby Target. Great hotel!
