    We had a wonderful stay

    We are from St. Louis, MO...this was our 1st trip to NY and it was Magnificent. It stated with the awesome female Hispanic employee who checked us in, she was amazing. Then the gentleman who assisted us with storing our luggage since our room wasn't available. Then the tall African american gentlemen who gave us incredible directions and tips of how to get on the subway. There was an exceptional host at breakfast. With all the guest coming and going she remembered how many were in our party everyday we came to breakfast...That was very impressive. Overall we had the best time Ever!

    A great experience

    We had a great time. Excellent location, great cocktails. Overall our stay was excellent and we would stay again but the queue for breakfast was ridiculous.

    Review

    The room was great and location fab. Although, absence of tea and coffee facilities in room very noticeable. Not happy about resort fees but, that is not down to staff. The reception staff and other staff were very good and very helpful. Lifts worked well and were quick and efficient. Reception staff did read a message I'd sent a few days before and actioned my request, which was appreciated. We slept well, it was a comfy bed. I would recommend this hotel.
