Book this hotel! You will not be disappointed! We stayed here and could not stop talking about our amazing experience! Meeting Romeo at our car to getting excellent customer service from the manager… we were not disappointed. This hotel feels like you are staying at the Ritz Carlton with customer service. The room was super spacious and came with a kitchenette. The location was perfect! Fast walk to the subway and many great restaurants within a 5 minute walk. If I could give this hotel 6 stars I would. Excellent!!

Too Noisy.

Great location. However, extremely noisy. We stayed on 3rd floor facing front of hotel for our last night in NY with the family. We had stayed just 2 blocks over for the previous 5 nights with NO issues. For this spot, I couldn't sleep until 3 am. Garbage trucks at 12am - 2am?? The trucks would stay at the spot with engines on for 20 minutes at a time. You could hear everything. granted this is NYC, however, we stayed just 2 blocks away at a Mariott Residence inn and didn't hear a single noise in the middle of the night. One of the female front desk staff was extremely rude. Others were kind.

An excellent location in NYC within walking distance of places such as Central Park and Rockefeller. It is also very near the subway. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were 5 of us staying in a suite and with the fold out bed and put up bed there was still plenty of space! The kitchen has two fridges and was very useful. The balcony gave us extra space and it was great to sit out early morning and late evening. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to New York City.
