This is a very nice little hotel in the midtown east area of Manhattan. It's actually a pretty good value if you can get a good price through an internet provider (Priceline, Hotwire, etc.). Small lobby area with enough room for about 8 people to sit. The bell service personnel are first rate. Extremely friendly and professional. The rooms are spacious and clean. However, if you want a room with a view, I suggest asking for a room above the 8th floor. We were on the sixth floor in the side tower which fronted 50th street. It got a little noisy by around 7 am and there wasn't a view. As for the location, if you want to be in midtown east, there aren't too many better locations than this. The Kimberly is situated about one block east of the Waldorf Astoria and within 4-6 blocks to MOMA, the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Station, Fifth Avenue Shopping (Tiffany's, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks), and close to Central Park. FYI, the facade is being renovated right now so if construction bothers you, don't stay there for the next 2-3 months. I would definitely stay there again if I wanted to be in midtown east.
