Everything in midtown is super walkable. 6-7mins to Grand Central, and 10-15 min walk to Times Square are. Off the beaten track enough that it feels safe and convenient. Staff was super kind and knowledgeable.

Service staff all around friendly and accommodating. Beds had fewer pillows on them at arrival than expected but they delivered more on request no problem. Bath tub a little too slippery. Great location near many international restaurants, view of the Empire State Building from their amazing rooftop bar!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. From the moment we walked in the door, we were welcomed by the staff with smiles, including housekeeping staff. The room was quiet and the hotel is in a safe location convenient to the Empire State Bldg. The only negative thing was the bathroom woodwork, tile, and a slight spray with the sink faucet showed signs of aging and could use attention. The bed was comfortable and a request for extra pillows was fulfilled in less than 5 minutes! We will definitely stay here again. We enjoyed our 2 free snacks or drinks each day, but felt the resort fee imposed was too much for that convenience.
