Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel located in a quiet, upscale part of the Upper East Side, near Central Park. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was extremely nice and professional. The location was very convenient for exploring the city's attractions, but a bit out of the main tourist areas. The dining experience offered a variety of tasty options. The facilities were well-kept.
I was pleasantly surprised by the small room that still had everything we needed, especially the huge shower. Free coffee, tea, magazines, and newspapers made it feel cozy. The service was exceptional, with helpful tips for newcomers and extremely friendly staff. The location in the Upper East Side was fantastic for exploring Central Park and the Guggenheim, away from the crowded areas. The dining offerings were satisfactory, albeit not a full buffet. The facilities met expectations, offering a relaxing atmosphere with various amenities.
The hotel's rooms, while clean, had furniture that was worn and a soft, unsupportive bed like sleeping on an air mattress. The window unit air-conditioners faced Madison Ave, causing noise at night. Despite the draft from the windows, the room was quite cold.
The hotel had some issues like the heating problem in the room and the lack of a clock despite being promised one, but the rooms were spacious, well-appointed, clean, and even had a fireplace. The service was commendable in assisting us during a busy weekend and always being friendly and welcoming. The location was in a quiet residential area, close to Central Park and the Guggenheim but lacked overnight item placements. The dining options were decent but could improve, and the facilities were satisfactory.
