My stay at this hotel was truly a mixed bag. The rooms are incredibly spacious with ample storage space, kitchenette, and some even boast a lovely terrace. Unfortunately, I experienced a hiccup when my room wasn't properly serviced, but the issue was swiftly resolved by being moved to a better room. The service was top-notch, with a helpful and enthusiastic staff. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from iconic New York landmarks like Grand Central Station and Times Square. On the downside, the dining options were a bit limited, but there are plenty of nearby choices. Overall, a decent value for money option in a convenient location.

The hotel's rooms were modern and fresh with useful amenities like a small kitchen and coffee machine. However, the view was lacking as my room faced a noisy generator from the neighboring building. The service was very friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The location was excellent, close to major attractions in Midtown. The dining options were convenient, with delivery available to the room from the downstairs restaurant.

I felt like I was in a very sleek and modern European boutique hotel with a full fridge, top-end bathroom amenities, and a super comfy bed with luxurious sheets and pillows you usually only find in expensive 5-star properties. The room was massive, very unusual for a New York room, and beautifully designed, light, and airy. The service was friendly and attentive, although there were moments when staff members seemed distracted by their cell phones. The location was ideal, just minutes away from Grand Central, providing a peaceful escape from the city noise. The dining experience was good with a nice coffee machine in the room and plenty of nearby options. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor distractions.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was large and very well designed, with a lovely kitchenette, but unfortunately, it was uncomfortably hot and stuffy. The small double bed was a letdown for a business traveler like me. The service was polite and helpful, but the lack of knowledge about the neighborhood was a drawback. The location was ideal for exploring the city, with great access to public transportation, restaurants, and shops, although identifying the neighborhood seemed confusing. Dining options were decent, but the absence of a buffet breakfast was a downside. Despite these ups and downs, the facilities were generally good.
