I had a wonderful stay at this hotel on the Upper West Side! The location truly couldn’t be better — just steps from Central Park and Columbus Circle, and an easy, pleasant walk to Times Square. It was the perfect home base for exploring the city while still enjoying a quieter, more relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with recommendations or directions. The room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed, making it easy to unwind after a full day in the city. Overall, an excellent experience in a fantastic location — I would absolutely stay here again!

Very convenient location; great restaurants in and next to the hotel; lovely rooftop terrace; comfortable beds, ample hot water. We were on the 11th/top floor; the heating system was not working well - we were too hot. Also the hotel systems (elevator, heating) are quite noisy.

We were in room 228. We appreciated the room size. We like hard beds, so this bed was comfortable for us. Two pillows were rock hard and the other two were lumpy but somewhat softer. Our water took forever to heat up in both the shower and the sink. Weird! I mean it took a good over 5 mins to heat up. On the flip side, the room was insufferably hot when we first arrived. We turned off one of the air conditioners and for 3-1/2 days that heat kept coming out of that unit even though we UNPLUGGED it from the wall and had the stop and cold buttons pressed and turned to cold. The other unit was cool so we had that going. The whole thing was bizarre. Also, there is NOWHERE in the room that tells you after you turn on the tv that you have to press 4 to get the channels! We asked the front desk and they told us. Also, the tv guide to the channels was inconspicuously found under the glass of the bedside table! I couldn’t believe all these issues. They are all preventable and hope they become addressed.

Staff is incredible! But that is were there luxury ends. From what I am told though this hotel room, the deluxe double "queen" was very big for new York. The toilet moved when you sat down though. The rooftop bar is very nice and I'm sure it's even better in the summer. The pillows... I cannot get over how bad the blankets and pillows are. The person I stayed with was surprised by the mini fridge, apparently that is not common in most NY hotel rooms. There is no coffee machine but the Starbucks is literally right there. I'm giving three stars because it was neither great nor terrible. Except the staff, the staff was excellent!
