Overall A great stay

We checked into another hotel down the road it was horrible. So we called and they gave us a full refund and checked us in to a hotel on 42nd. My wife was extremely happy with this hotel. From now on we will book with well-known chains. The only things we did not like where there was not a microwave in the room or a mini fridge. It could be the room they had available did not have one however my wife was a little disappointed. I called one night because of someone was smoking weed on our floor and the smell was overwhelming. They desk was extremely helpful and took care of it.

Great Location and Hotel!

Everything was near perfect for the price! The staff was helpful and when we requested to have our bathtub looked at, it was repaired that very afternoon. The bed was comfortable and the room/bath very, very clean. The only mishap was that the hotel seemed to be repairing another room below us and there was hammering at 0800.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

When I say short walk, I mean extremely short to the bus (right outside the hotel), Metro, and Grand Central! From the hotel you can go anywhere quickly!!!!

Great Spot

Hilton Manhattan East is situated on 42nd Street which is the same street as Times Square, albeit 5 avenues cross town, but this is not a huge distance and can easily be walked in 5 to 10 mins. This makes it an ideal location as you are not paying the high costs of a Times Square hotel and are avoiding the noise and crowds of 7th Avenue, but are a very short walk away. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was free wifi in the lobby, which was good as the desktop PC's in the lobby where a little expensive and slow. The rooms are well presented an clean with a good TV and choice of channels. All in all, if the price is right for you, go for it!

Solid NYC Hotel

The hilton midtown east was a perfectly nice hotel. Great staff that were always helpful. Close to grand central. The rooms are standard hilton hotel rooms but those are pretty nice compared to many hotels in NYC. Good value for the money.

Good clean accommodation, handy location for being close to the heart of the city but far enough away to be quiet. Period feel, overall recommended
