Great Stay

Had a wonderful stay! Our room was on the second floor but we still found it very quiet. Hotel has a great location and the rooftop terrace is a wonderful feature with great views. No issues during our stay! We also found it pretty good value for the price, although not sure the resort fee is really worth it given the only included amenity seemed to be the fitness center.

The hotel was well located, an 8 minute walk to Grand Central Station. It had its own restaurant, but also had a great bagel place and pizza slice place just down the street and a 24 hour convenience store on the same block in case you wanted to keep an eye on budget. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and friendly and we really appreciated that. The rooms were spacious and clean, perhaps a tiny bit dated, but its totally insignificant when you are out sight seeing all day. The bed was made up every day and the towels were changed. The beds were very comfy and we had plenty of space. We are a family of 6 and had 3 x 2Queen bed rooms, so each of us had our own bed. It worked really well because we were also located next door to one another (we requested this ahead of time). The roof bar is very boojie and a little bit pricey (we were on a budget) but we went up for a drink and the view was amazing. The restaurant on site served fabulous breakfasts and so we ate there lots - kids loved the pancake stack. Thanks for a great stay.
