The hotel has a simple Japanese elegance with beautiful flower arrangements throughout the common spaces in the hotel. We arrived in the early morning and had asked for an early check in and the staff had a room ready for us at 9 am no waiting just a pleasant greeting and "we have been expecting you".
The location is within walking distance of all things in midtown, Grand Central 2 blocks away, Rockefeller Center a 10 minute walk. The rooms are large for NYC standards, nice size bathroom and closet area. The hotel is Japanese, so no coffee in the room but there is a teapot and tea. There is not an iron or ironing board in the room but one was brought within 5 minutes of calling the front desk.
The most astounding thing I can say about this hotel is how quiet it is. We saw people all over the hotel but when you are in your room you can not hear any street noise, hallway noise, people talking or doors closing. I asked the front desk and they said they had soundproofing to create a peaceful experience and they get 5 stars for that!!! Great experience and will stay there next time I go to NYC.
