“Recommend and would stay here again next time in NYC”

This was a great hotel and I would stay there again on a future trip to NYC. The front desk staff were friendly, helpful, and humorous.

This was a great hotel and I would stay there again on a future trip to NYC. The front desk staff were friendly, helpful, and humorous. Room: Our room #2110 was great overall, we had a comfortable Queen bed and a sofa bed. Our room had a great view of the Empire State Building. It had a well equipped kitchen with full size fridge, sink, microwave, a breakfast counter, and lots of cupboards with all kinds of utensils, cutlery, glasses, paper towels, etc. Anything extra we needed the front desk provided, such as an extra blanket and toiletries. I loved that there was lots of storage space with drawers and in the closet, the bathroom had plenty of drawers too. They also have a big laundry room in the basement with many modern machines. You could even pay with an app however it didn't work for us so we just paid with a credit card on the machine card readers. Dining: Breakfast on the 3rd floor was open 6:30-9:30am weekdays and 7-10am weekends. Elevators and breakfast area were busiest 8:30-9:30am. Had an excellent buffet selection with everything you could want – cereal, bacon or sausages, eggs, make-your-own waffles, toast, oatmeal, baked goods, juice, milk, muffins, fruit, yogurt, etc. The dining room was a very big lounge-style room with plenty of seating, although on busy days it could be tricky to find empty spots but we always managed to do so. I even saw once a staff member give a pile of food on disposable plates to a woman who was discreetly seated nearby who seemed homeless, which I thought was nice. I would suggest having hand sanitizers available in the buffet area as we all know buffet utensils are filthy with everyone touching them. Also there are only 4 elevators and the lines to leave the buffet were sometimes very long. Incidentally, the elevators could be very slow during busy times, I think it was on a Saturday morning I was literally waiting 10-15 minutes for an elevator. My family took the stairs down from the 21st floor and got to the bottom before I did on the elevator. Location: Excellent location, with tons of food options and retail shops nearby. In less than 10 minutes you could walk to Bryant Park, Times Square, the NY Public Library flagship branch, a Whole Foods, and Grand Central station not to mention tons of other stores. Right outside the hotel across the side street there’s an entrance for the 42 St-Bryant Park subway station (however this is open only on weekdays from 6am-9pm, other times you have to use the main Bryant Park station at 40 St. & 6 Ave). Also right downstairs outside is a Dunkin Donuts. Other eateries just a few minutes walk that we went to include Sophie’s Cuban Cuisine and Main Noodle House (recommend for huge portions of delicious Chinese food!). Also on the same sidewalk was a kebab place and a ramen place that we didn’t try but looked good. On one of the days we were there in August (August 3) there was a big street fair called the Sixth Avenue Summer Fair along 6th Avenue from 34th to 42nd Streets, with lots of vendors and food. I bought there an horchata drink and a bodega cat poster. It’s a great safe and lovely neighborhood especially with the beautiful green Bryant Park nearby. Recommend!

“Close to everything”

Stayed 3 nights. Front desk staff amazing. Answered every question with a smile (I’m sure they get asked the same questions all day long).

Stayed 3 nights. Front desk staff amazing. Answered every question with a smile (I’m sure they get asked the same questions all day long). Our room was on the 9th floor with a semi view of Bryant park. This hotel is so close to pretty much everything with subway basically out the front door. We only took the subway twice as we pretty much walked everywhere. The breakfast buffet had a nice offering. The bathroom is small, they need softer towels and it is true, the elevators suck. But I would stay here again.
