This is the only hotel I have stayed in New York,so I have no idea what others are like to compare,I am sure there are better and not so , my wife and I both agree that there was no fault what so ever with this Hotel.
The lobby area is very good,providing a P.C. with free internet and a broadband speed most acceptable, the people running the desk were most polite and answered all are questions,with a smile and courtesy(which was not always the case when visiting some shops in N Y).
The lifts,2 of them were not the fastest but fast enough to get to the floor required.
Room 701 was fine,room enough to what you want,with a real comfy bed, a shower and loo that worked, totally sufficent for the traveller,it was clean,lighting in the room is by lamps,no ceiling lamps,so the room may seem a little darker, but I assure you it is fine.
New York is of course very very busy,noise never goes away and you will hear noise,the garbage collection seems to start at 4.30 am and you will here the wagons collecting but do not let this put you off.
We only had breakfast at the hotel and it was fine, in a lovely art deco setting.
The setting of this hotel is fantastic for all you want to see in Manhattan,step across the road and look up and standing in front of you is the Empire State Building,5th Avenue is next door and Broadway a hundred yards to your left.
One day we are going to return to New York and I will be booking this Hotel
