Great Location/Nice Hotel

You can't get a better spot. You can walk everywhere. Just three blocks from grand central. Friendly staff. We had mill dew in our bathroom but they addressed it right away. Really roomy suite. Friendly staff, though a little bit slow on some requests. Quiet. Rooftop bar a disappointment. No free internet, except in lobby. Nice TV with poor reception. Comfy bed and pillows. Only one bellman so give yourself plenty of time to check out. Would stay here again. One of my better hotel experiences in NY. Way better than the Waldorf and Sheraton, both of which we've stayed in.

Do some homework and look for small intimate restaurants downtown. The food could be great, have a nice atmosphere and a better value.

Great Midtown (Murray Hill) Value

Fast, friendly early check-in. Comfortable room and bed. At $179 this was a tremendous value. Terrific roof top terrace with bar and great views of Empire State and Chrysler buildings.

Nice Rooms without a bunch of thrills

Good and Clean. Staff was very friendly which made up for the less than soft towels. Stayed in a suite with a door that closes (For my personal snoring reasons) and it appears this room was not used much -- TV's are good but the furniture is outdated -- The lobby looks great and wish that flavor was carried over into the rooms more. Overall, a decent value for what they charge and it's central location makes it worth it. Room food was quite good!

Excellent Option

Staff was as friendly and helpful as they could be. Location is great, near everything in Midtown, but still in a quieter area. Room was conformable and spacious, which is unusual to hotels in NYC. Already recommended to my co-workers and it will be my first choice every time I get back.
