This was a wonderful place to stay. It was clean, roomy, convenient and safe. Staff go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and keep you comfortable. We stayed at 3 different hotels due to canceled flights and this was by far the best for the planned half of oir trip.

The location was fabulous. So close to the natural history museum & Central Park. A subway station close walking distance as well. We saw a show at the Beacon Theater, also close! Lots of good restaurants around. The staff were all amazing & helped set up a car for the airport. Will stay again. The room was small & basic but all we needed.
