Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was clean and spacious, but the noise from Lexington Avenue was constant. The staff provided helpful service but could improve on resolving issues promptly. The location was convenient, with shopping and dining options nearby, despite some noise disturbances. The dining choices were varied, but some aspects did not meet expectations. The facilities were adequate, meeting basic needs.
My stay at the hotel was really good. The rooms were perfect for my family, really spacious and cozy, making it a comfortable experience. The location near the main entrance was excellent for getting around the city. The service was amazing, attending to everything with rooms that felt like a private apartment. However, the only downside was that the dining experience may not meet high expectations.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, with charming rooms furnished in a lovely traditional style. The suite I stayed in was a great treat, and the proximity to subway stops made it super convenient. The service, although efficient, lacked a bit of warmth. The central location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the city with plenty of dining options nearby.
