The Court - A St Giles Premier Hotel

My family arrived on December 28. I am from NY and lived in NYC for 11 years. The location of the hotel is great, it is a residential area and it is not very crowded. The hotel is very close to Grand Central station and a close walk to midtown west. The hotel itself was not great. We had a junior executive suite for 3 of us. There was no door separating the bedroom from the living room. The king bed was very hard and the mattress on the pull out couch was very thin, so my daughter slept on the day bed in the room. There were wires sticking out of the heater in the bathroom and the heater in the bedroom was very loud. The reason I would stay here is for the location and the price point.

My friends and I stayed at this hotel for New Year's Eve. We got upgraded to a terrace suite and it was amazing. The terrace was great with a direct view of the Chrysler building. The room was beautiful and the staff was all really nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone!

The St Giles is a gem in midtown manhattan. If you are doing business or in town for fun, this hotel offers the right amount of value and amenities. And if you upgrade your room, you will be amazed at the size and quality you get for just a few more dollars. Highly recommended by a traveler who spends 30+ nights in NY every year for the last 10 years. Its not the Ritz, but for the price, I find it hard to beat.

If you are interested in a larger room in midtown Manhattan, definitely look no further than the St Giles Court and upgrade from the base room. I stayed in room 1216 and it was big enough to sleep a family of four comfortably.

I bought an Orbitz travel package; I selected the St. Giles New York The Court because other travelers gave the hotel 4 stars. Was I disappointed! The room I was given seemed to be an afterthought. It was poorly organized - I had an enormous walk-in closet, another poorly lit room with a mini-bar & the usual $5+ packages of oreos,, and there was a third room that held a safe, carefully placed on a high shelf. It was incredibly noisy -street noise - luckily, I had earplugs with me; the bed was saggy; the windows were filthy; there was no working thermostat; and there was no way to comfortably watch the TV/VCR as the TV was on a long table parallel to the side of the bed. The table was large enough to seat at least 8 people for a formal dinner. It really had no place in this smallish room. There was no where to put the TV to enable me to watch it. I never had washcloths in the bath, on 2 of the 4 days I wasn't given a replacement bathmat, I had several hair conditioners but no shampoo. The towels were clean but stiff & hard. The hotel's staff were wonderful. Each person in reception/concierge did their best to help me make the best of this poor room. But there was no way to rebuild the room & make it a comfortable place. I don't ask that my hotel be luxurious; I do require it to be well-organized & appointed. This hotel was neither. I won't stay here again.

Best value in a reasonable walking distance to midtown attractions.

They say 3 important things in real estate are location, location, and location: but this hotel has all: great location, very nice rooms and a great service. If you are working around the UN headquarters, this is the hip place to be (not sure how many UN delegates would go for hip these days - but they should ;-)

The bath room sink leaked all over the floor. The shower was too loose and wouldn't turn off. The room was dark and was dated.

So good location,close to everything you need.Very clean and well decorated room.Staff very kind and they helped us a lot with everything we needed.

It was excellent, we asked if we could stay half a day extra due to our afternoon flights and they were very accommodating. Charging us only half the price till 6pm that evening. It really made a difference for us.
