Great stay near Grand Central

Perfectly fine, clean hotel close to Grand Central. Good value for the money, large room (by NYC standards). Felt comfortable for a family of four in a room with two queen sized bed. The kitchenette our room had an ice maker in the fridge--which was an unexpected but nice thing to have in a hotel room. Plenty of restaurants and amenities near by for all needs.

Room was big but tired. Comfortable enough, everything worked. My room was buried at the back so no natural light and no view of anything. Staff were good except someone was constantly vaping weed on my floor and it got into everything. Staff did nothing about that…..

The stay was great! The only thing I wish we had was a pamphlet in our room that gave us the same run-down as they do at the front desk (amenities, numbers to call for certain services, more info on the rooftop, etc). Besides that, everyone was so helpful.

The hotel was very nice along with the staff. Only downsides were the cleaning staff banging on our door at 9:00 a.m.. and also we were not told about the $10 benefit had to be used by midnight so we lost out on this.
