My wife and I accompanied our adult daughter and friend for a visit to the city and a tour of the Museum of Natural History. We stayed one night, then took the train back to CT, and they stayed for 3 more before flying back home. The hotel is so easy to get to from Grand Central Station: Take the subway shuttle to Time Square, jump on the 1 train to 79th Street, walk a short 2 blocks and you're right there.
The accomodations, staff, and overall courtesy and personal service were all top notch and we will certainly stay again, as the opportunity arises. One recommendation is that the bathrooms be fitted with a shelf or that that the industrial-grade stainless steel sinks be replaced with something that has a place to put things, such as a tube of toothpaste or make-up. More than once, items fell to the floor and had to be rinsed off. We stayed in a room that was the next level up from the basic so that we could get a king bed. That stated, we're not sure if the bathrooms are more practical in higher priced rooms. Also, no where could we find, neither on the door nor in the guide book on the dresser, any information about checkout time. That info would save a call to the front desk, which is what we had to do.
If you're looking for a restfull night's sleep, you can't go wrong here. It was incredibly quiet and the bed was super comfortable.
All in all, we recommend OTA and will share our recommendation with friends and family heading to the city.
