Very Good All Around

Our experience was quite positive. The hotel is centrally located, only about 5 blocks from Grand Central Station, so it serves as a good base for exploring Manhattan. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. Definitely would consider staying here again.

no real complaints, friendly staff, would recommend

Staff were extremely polite and welcoming and helped wherever they could Michael and Michaela were both very nice and they unfortunately were the only names I caught as everyone was very good The rooms were very spacious and were cleaned thoroughly. I'm not sure if it was on the site prior to booking that the roof bar is closed until may as I was hoping to use that area to propose to my girlfriend, I had emailed prior to this but got no reply. (She said yes anyway) Unfortunately I didn't get to sample the rare bar and grill but I heard only good things about it. The hotel is undergoing building work outside but once inside you wouldn't know (accept the ground floor). I never heard any noise. The room was on the 9th floor right next to the lifts and could be used as an interconnected room but there was no disturbances, the room easily locks if its not what you want so no one just walks in, the room could have done with a mirror beside the TV for people to get ready but I guess that's being picky. Bed was very comfortable and wardrobe spacious. The hotel is located about a two-five walk from the Chrysler building and grand central station. Its about 15 minutes to times square walking, a cab will cost under 10 dollars. Hotel is very convenient for fifth avenue. I would highly recommend

King size suite very very nice

I had a wonderful time. I stayed in a king size suite. The bed was wonderful.The only complaints I would have about the room is that the bathroom is a bit awkward space wise as the toilet is right behind the door and if you are 5'11 or taller or over 200 lbs you would not fit and there was no tub BUT the shower was nice and big. The other complain is about the internet connection which for the amount of money that one is paying for it (about $17) the quality/strength is not good - it kept disconnecting and was very slow so if you need to do important business then not recommended. For the standard of the hotel I would recommend they check with the provider to upgrade the internet service as it is not up to par.

Sweet hotel

Wife and I spent two days, fitness center was lacking without a sauna, but everything else about the hotel was great. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable and they had free bikes for up to 4 hrs!!! It was in a great neighborhood, easy to get to both the east and west sides. I would definately reccomend this hotel.

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.

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.
