Very clean and well maintained. Efficient and supportive staff. Easy to navigate in spite of size. Easy access to Moynihan Train Station. (Felt safe walking this distance even at midnight.) Smooth late night check-in.
Room space, while modest, was well utilized and I did not feel cramped or uncomfortable. Unique decor. Wonderful view of Madison Square Garden from the window.
Noise from street was significant but not unexpected. Encountered many homeless people outside near hotel but at no time felt threatened or harassed.
Overall, I found the New Yorker inviting, exceptionally well managed, safe, impeccably clean—an excellent “home away from home” to which to return at the ends of several demanding days spent exploring New York City.
