    The upside of the location also meant slightly further to travel to some places no outside space and a poor lobby area but great sized room and having a small kitchen area was great

    Up town location away from full on manhattan and in walking distance of Central Park and the riverside

    Bed was not very comfy, with no side table on one side, and most importantly, no mirror in the bedroom! Very hard to do your makeup and check out your look with only a bathroom mirror, if someone was using the bathroom!

    Location and staff! Also very clean!

    Great UWS hotel!

    • Stayed 3 nights

    The hotel is showing it's age, a bit, and while it didn't take away from the experience, I did notice peeling wallpaper in a few places, but it was still clean, so that really wasn't an issue.

    Location of the hotel was perfect for me. I was visiting my son that lives on the UWS, and this hotel was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size by any standards, but very large for NYC standards. I loved that there was a kitchenette. I only used the refrigerator this time, but would definitely use it had I needed to. Housekeeping was very nice, and did a great job on my room.

    Unfortunately, I paid a little bit extra for a city view and I got a view of the big building.

    The accommodation does not have parking or valet parking, but they were very helpful and showed me the parking lot right behind the hotel (2 minutes on foot) We had a very good chat at the reception and they also advised me how to get to where I need to be. Overall great staff. Small bathroom, but well equipped. Everything is nice and clean.

    The decor is dated, but it was clean so was worth it for the extra space and location!

    The location was amazing! Close to the park and away from the noise of down town. Also we got a room with a sitting room which was so helpful when travelling with a small child!

    The bar is not in operation but there is one around the corner that is pleasant.

    The staff is fantastic. The location is fantastic. It has all of the qualities one wants away from home. I should count the number of times I have returned. Of course The Beacon Theatre which shares the city block has provided entertainments with Bob Dylan, Seal, Jerry Seinfeld to mention a few….

    The room was quite small. There was only one night table next to the bed so we moved a lamp and chair to accommodate reading in bed. Not much space ace to do yoga in the AM in the room.

    The room was bright , comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Location is great did our purposes: museums, Central Park and west side music and theatre. The view from our 19th floor window of the east side and the sunrise was a quite lovely city scape.

    Nothing, it was all perfect.

    Honestly, everything was perfect. Even before I arrived I called a couple times. Answered right away and they were so friendly. Beds are super comfortable, a huge room for 5 adults (king suite), plenty of closets for people's things. They kept our bags, free of charge, after we checked out so we could explore before our bus left. It was clean, modern and super comfortable.
