I liked the look of this hotel before I decided to book it and although there were one or two rather unsettling reviews prior to my arrival, I had absolutely nothing at all to worry about. There are renovations going off within the hotel, but there was little evidence of this during our stay. For first time visitors to New York City, there are few other hotels with better locations.
Our room was larger than I expected it to be with a decent sized closet and bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. And, although East 42nd Street is one of Manhattan's busier thoroughfares, there was surprisingly little noise from the street compared to some other locations.
This is a large hotel that some people may find rather impersonal, but I was impressed by the layout of the place, especially the very spacious lobby area. There is good security too, which tends to be kept at a low key.
Yes, I would stay here again
