Stay: Saturday 20th October - Wednesday 24th October 2007.
Check-In:
This was good. Staff were friendly, polite and gave us a warm and friendly smile. Prompt service with clear instructions and directions given. The front desk staff, at all times, were very helpful and pleasant.
Room:
The room was good. The bedding was perfectly clean and fresh. Power shower was outstanding and the bathroom itself was very good. Large, mirrored walls, marble sink areas and lots of fresh towels changed daily. The room was on the small side but definitely okay and easy to cope with. Large TV in room with a range of channels. Views of the E 42nd Street were also good.
Restaurant/Breakfast:
We ate in the hotel restaurant on three occasions. The breakfast buffet is satisfactory overall, with some good features. Staff service is very good. Friendly and kind members of the team asked us how we were enjoying our trip and offered coffee and juice as often as we wished. Cooked food was satisfactory. Fresh fruit, yoghurts, hash browns, a range of croissants, bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, bread rolls, toaster...the usual.
Bar:
The bar prices are good. Cocktails well prepared and served for us. Clean, upmarket and calm. A lovely place to have a drink to start the evening.
General comments:
This hotel is very well situated for Grand Central Station. The surrounding area is in the business (UN) district. Wide roads, taxi availability is excellent. A lovely atmosphere, Starbucks just one block down. The noise from the road cannot be heard at all from rooms. This hotel deserves a good review. It does well. Staff work hard, the rooms are comfortable, clean and tidy. Service is good as too is the location.
Overall recommendation:
We would return to this hotel. It is perfect for the needs of most travellers. I do recommend it to others. I'd grade it as 'Very Good' overall.
