In New York for 4 nights and the hotel provided everything we needed. The suite was a great size and offered more space than I was expecting. Having a living area with a sofa bed separate from the bedroom was exactly what we required and it worked perfectly for our family. The staff were great and dealt with everything quickly. Check in and out was very quick. Location provided us with easy access to everywhere in Manhattan, especially with Grand Central being so close. Next time we visit New York, we will immediately check if rooms are available at this hotel.

unexpected upgrade

I checked in at a out 2:30 pm, and my reserved room was not yet ready. I was placed in a suite that was already cleaned which was a tremendous upgrade from the basic room which I had reserved. The room was lovely and comfortable.

Great, until an elevator was out of service.

The only bad part of the trip was that one of the two elevators (which are small) was out of service in the morning at a busy time. I was on the 15th floor and lucky to get the last spot in the elevator going down to the lobby. We stopped at about 7 other floors, and others had to bow out due to a lack of room.
