It's hard to believe that just a few months ago this was the down and out Hotel Thirty Thirty. The glamorous, upscale lobby is unrecognizable from its former incarnation, and the bar opposite reception is a welcome addition. Restaurant Zana, connected to the lobby at 30th St., still serves a good breakfast, lunch & dinner at reasonable prices. The rooms have been smartly redecorated, but the stylish bathrooms lack horizontal surfaces for holding guests’ toiletry kits. The black-out roller shades eliminate ANY light leakage. The neighborhood is quiet, since it is mostly residential. I fear the prices will rise, because at present it’s about half the price of the neighboring Carlton and Roger hotels. Other reviewers commented about sub-par service, but the concierge, bar and reception staff were first rate during my 2-day stay (perhaps the former staff has been replaced). This will be my hotel of choice for my next visit to NYC. The hotel is equidistant from two subway lines at 28th St.; one runs north to south along Lexington Ave.; the other heads NW up to Times Sq. and Central Park South. Oh, and everything looks like the web site photos - no trick photography here.
