I have been staying at this hotel for over the past 20 years, to which Mike the doorman, who has been there as longer than I have been going there, can attest. It is fantastic being greeted at the door with a friendly smile. The staff at check-in is always warm and friendly and willing to help out any way they can. The rooms are very well appointed in what I would like to call a 1950’s style, which gives you that classic New York feel. I do have to admit, I miss the bird cage that used to adorn the downstairs lobby - City ordinances got rid of that many years ago – but they have done very well with replacing it with absolutely beautiful flower arrangements. You cannot beat the location. You have two options to get on the subway, either a very short walk to 51st and Lex for the local 6 line or a bit of a further hike to Grand Central Station to pick up the 4 &5 express trains. There is a large number of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The staff is fantastic and if you need any suggestions on what you should do, just ask the concierge or the doormen, they will give you a few suggestions.
