Comfortable bed, nice bedding, good shower and very nice towels. The room was quiet (something I've been told is rare in New York). Close to midtown New York attractions and the subway. My only complaint was the lack of lighting in the room. Of course, the cookies are delicious!

After staying at the Doubletree in Times Square just a few months earlier we had high expectations for our stay here. This DT fell flat. Nothing that would keep us away if we have a good deal - just nothing special. Their car valet attendants seemed disjointed and out of sync with each other. Arriving on a busy Saturday night... More

Great location for visiting Midtown attractions. The only negative is a minor extortion program being foisted on visitors who want to check baggage. A $2 fee per bag is demanded for IN and OUT service by the baggage handlers. Front desk staff simply ignore it all. Asians are charge even more: $5 per bag.

Stayed for 4 nights at the hotel. Hotels rooms are small (but most are in NY) but they were clean. We got free breakfast at the hotel but found also the best bagel place right behind the hotel on 3rd. But the best service was calling our concierge Susan Browning a few weeks before we got into town and I... More

Excellent location. Close to all shops on 5th Avenue. Also, easy to get to theater district. Very well maintained rooms. Friendly staff, especially bellman and front desk, which answered every question regarding city landmarks.

This hotel gets a very good rating because of its location else I would give it an average. The rooms are dark. The rooms are small but normal by New York standards. The parking is $55 - so be prepared. Depending on who you get the staff is either excellent or worthless. Some front desk staff can't even direct you... More

Hotel is in a great east side location and very close to several landmarks (Rockefeller Plaza, Grand Central, Central Park, etc.). Bathrooms are a bit small but the beds are very comfortable and clean. I'm typically loyal to Marriott but when unavailable, would be comfortable staying here again.
