Spacious and Convenient Stay
spacious suite ideal location
I stayed in a one-bedroom suite, and it reminded me of a proper apartment. the living room was spacious, and the kitchenette was a definite plus. housekeeping was excellent, promptly delivering extra blankets when we needed them. the location was ideal. It was quiet, yet still central.
the bathroom had some dirt. although i told the staff, it was never cleaned . this was a bit disappointing, given the otherwise positive experience.

The one-bedroom suite offered ample space, almost like an apartment. a spacious living room and a useful kitchenette added to the comfort. the separate bedroom provided privacy and quiet for restful nights. I slept soundly.

A stay with some drawbacks
helpful staff spacious room high tax dark room
I liked the location. It was a good distance to many places I wanted see. the staff was very professional. They seem very helpful with every request I had. The room was spacious and very clean. I liked having a lot room to move around in.
The rooftop bar was expensive. One beer and a cocktail cost more than I expected. there was a room tax of almost $50 a night. I think this is too high. The room was a bit dark. There was no ceiling lights, just lamps.

Adequate Stay at a Convenient Location
courteous service convenient location visible cobweb unavailable ac
David and Jean greeted us upon arrival with courteous service. They assisted with our luggage and directed us to the check-in desk (I found this quite helpful). The location on Lexington Avenue is convenient. It is ideal for visiting many attractions.
The room felt somewhat lived in, and a cobweb was visible in the corner. Despite reporting it to the staff twice, the cobweb was not removed . I sleep with AC on at every hotel but was informed that AC wasn't available due to the season. I was told to open the window instead.
