The hotel is excellently located in Midtown, just around the corner from the Empire State Building, making it a convenient base for exploration. Despite the gloomy view over the inner courtyard, the rooms are spacious and come with a bathtub, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service, while lacking personalized recognition due to the doorman's anonymity, is efficient with offerings like dry cleaning, laundry services, a welcome drink, and happy hour. The dining options focus on local fruits and cheaper alternatives, providing a taste of the area without breaking the bank. Overall, a good value for money stay with easy access to city attractions.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was amazing, right in the heart of Midtown with easy access to everything. The rooms were cozy and had a queen-size bed, which was so comfortable. The service was top-notch, especially the friendly staff at the reception desk. The only downside was the lack of dining options late at night, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
The hotel has lovely decor in the rooms, fully stocked minibar, and a fresh modern decor; however, the doorman during the afternoon shift was not very knowledgeable. The location is excellent with the subway just around the corner, making it easy to get around. The dining options served were good, with some cheaper choices available. On the downside, the price for some services like dry cleaning and laundry was a bit high.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotless and cozy, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was superb. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. Despite that, the overall value for money was great.
I stayed at this hotel and had a great experience overall. The location is superb, right in Midtown near the Empire State Building and with easy access to the subway.

The hotel is in a prime location, super close to everything and surrounded by many restaurants. The rooms are cozy and clean, but those facing the inner courtyard or air shaft may lack natural light. The service from the afternoon doorman was friendly and helpful, although not all staff members were named. The hotel's location is outstanding, right off fifth avenue and near a subway station. The dining options are varied, with some cheaper choices available. The facilities are modern and convenient, offering everything one might need for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is located in the heart of NYC, just around the corner from the Empire State Building in a very good area. The rooms are clean and in good condition, but with a view over an inner courtyard that might feel gloomy. The service, especially at the reception desk, is commendable, though the doorman on the afternoon shift remains anonymous. The dining options are satisfactory, with risotto being a notable dish. The hotel is close to subway and metro stations, making it convenient for exploring Midtown. Overall, a nice spot to stay in the bustling city.
