This is the only place I'll stay in NYC (after trying many hotels throughout the city). The location is on block away from the subway, there's a terrific restaurant connected to the hotel plus other wonderful restaurants, the service and staff are attentive, the rooms are perfectly clean every time, the rooms are very large (for a deluxe room), and it's a short walk to Lincoln Center, Central Park, the Metropolitan and American History Museums.
