Recently took our 2 college age daughters to New York for a family vacation for 5 days. I was thrilled to find great airfare, but shocked when I started looking at hotels and prices! Location, reputation and a fresh designed hotel were our priorities. Upon checking in our hotel & room we were quite pleased. Front desk and concierge were adequate and average. The room was newly updated, very clean and fresh and great size (for a NYC hotel room) to comfortably accomodate our adult family of 4. Within 15 minutes housekeeping knocked on our door to check if everything was satisfactory and immediately brought some additional items we requested. Bathroom was average size and could have had more shelf/storage space. Double beds (not Queen) were comfortable. Biggest negative was walls are thin and could occasionally hear people talking in the next room. (that's why I bring earplugs on trips) Hotel is not known to have extrodinary window views of the city. Location was excellent, only a few blocks from Rockefeller Center, Central Park, shopping & Times Square. Great vacation and nice contemporary hotel, but expensive. My Hilton Honors got us free use of their great exercise facility each day, but Internet was ridiculously expensive ($1 a minute!!) FYI not all rooms have been renovated at this time, so make sure you ask for an updated room.
