The room was clean, the hot water and bathtub were amazing! Staff were super nice and helpful and location was great! Two blocks from Central Park, 2 minutes from subway and away from the craziness from Times Square but 5 minutes away from subway. Perfect location! We definitely will be staying again!

I loved the upper west side location. Fun eating options abound. My room was pretty large for New York City and nicely appointed. I didn't have much of a view but at least there was a little garden on the landing. The lobby is elegant and a nice place to meet up. Overall, a solid choice.

Room felt neglected, carpet was torn and curtains fading. A request for teabag was turned down with “Tea are available for purchase from our Restaurant through room service or in person dining. Other than that we can point you in the right direction if you'd like to purchase K cups for the coffee maker in your room.” Nonchalant management and overall low quality.
