The staff are phenomenal, the hotel ....

First, but not our last trip to New York.. amazing trip , minus the very cold weather. The hotel, was clean, and all the staff very friendly and extremely helpful.. A+. From the doormen, the maid service, the front desk and everyone in between were great! As this was our first trip, not sure what we expected from the hotel, however the room was very small, definitely by Canadian standards. The largest thing in the room was the tv! I am glad I chose the Deluxe Queen, not sure we would have stayed in anything smaller. Tiles were falling off the shower, and simply not enough room. Will visit NYC numerous times I"m sure, but will look for more spacious accomodations. Just home from NY today

Great experience!

This is a great place: great location, great service, and hip vibe to boot. I've stayed at other Kimpton hotels before. This one isn't the hippest but it shares the general ambiance with the other properties. The location is also great, being extremely close to Grand Central but not noisy. Staff was very helpful. Rooms are a bit small but not that's not unusual in NYC. The hotel could be improved a bit by spiffing up the exterior (the blue awning looks dull and dirty). Highly recommend this place!

Review

Loved the hotel - we had a king size deluxe, roomier than most NYC hotels. We were on Park Ave. right near Grand Central - kind of a busy street but then if you walked the neighborhood you could find local restaurants off the beaten path that were so cheap! Staff was friendly and helpful, and the wine reception was every night and a nice touch. A bit pricey for parking - $62 a day for valet, but that's New York! Water pressure wasn't stellar, but passable. Overall, a good visit and we'd stay there again.

Go into the neighborhood near this hotel to find good deals on food. Faggioli's, a block away on 39th, has great italian for about $13 an entree. And, there's plenty of local bagel and coffee places for breakfast within three blocks.

Unbeatable location for the price

- Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly - Hotel was centrally located, with close proximity to Grand Central Station, Times Square, Garment District and Theatre District - Breakfast buffet at in-house SilverLeaf restaurant was over-priced ($24/person) and of sub-standard quality for the price, A quick trip around the corner to the 'Moonstruck" restaurant on 38th and Madison resulted in great food at 1/3 of the price.

Citysightings NY Bus Tour - a great way to get a quick tour of the city before you pick your favorite location to visit. Look into TKTS for cheap, same day, theater tickets - go the the TKTS booth in the Financial District for shorter line-ups

A trip to remember

I took my daughter to New York City for her 21st birthday. The hotel staff were very friendly--the front door to the hotel was opened for us almost every time upon arrival and/or return. There was always ice cold water in the hotel lobby waiting our return from a lot of walking in the city. Our rooms were always very clean, with fresh towels daily and beds made during our 4-night stay. The beds and pillows were more than we expected for a hotel (excellent!). The hotel was in a great location--just 3-4 blocks from Grand Central Terminal, where we caught the subway (our main mode of transportation on this trip) and within walking distance of the Empire State Building.

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

There is a lot of walking in New York City--a block is more like 3 blocks of where I'm from. Times Square is very crowded at night and people will run into you and not even think a thing about it--there are people going in every direction (very quickly) at the same time. A great tip I was given (that was also confirmed by two other people) is not to use the taxis in NYC--they will rip you off if you're a tourist.

Convenient location, nice neighborhood

the room did not have high-speed internet. The breakfast restaurant was very over-priced, and the food was not good. The concierge recommended over-priced restaurants. Otherwise we LOVED this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.
