New York has so many good hotels - this is not one of them. The basic fabric is tired; the hotel feels like it is ready for a major renovation. On top of this my room was just plan dirty. By far the worst aspect is the staff and the service. Tired, disinterested,poor standards and with all the worst aspects... more

Besides the location, nothing much more positive. Very overpriced, rooms are average, everything costs extra, bathrooms need an imploding. Invite me back when the hotel has had a major refurbishing. more

This is a lovely Hotel opposite Central Park. At first we were put in a room overlooking a grotty alley way (L7 or L9) but after a few words with the manager we were offered a room on L35 with a lovely cityview. It was a smaller bed but the furnishings were much nicer. The lower room had dark furniture... more

The drinking glasses in the bathroom had crust in the corners of them, the grout was dirty, one of my towels had something red and crusty on it and another towel had a six-inch rip down the middle, the underside of the bedspread had a number of stains, the wallpaper was ripped in the bedroom and peeling in the bathroom,... more

It is a very privileged location with an amazing view from Central Park South, therefore no doubts about the wonderful landscape and the beautiful people around it, but for the rate, it ranges from the 700's through the 500's a night, you could be better off on the same street strip, at the incomparable Jumeirah Essex, or Trump Int'l., around... more

My boyfriend’s work booked this hotel and I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews and looking at some of the photos. The hotel was better than I expected, though it is dated. First of all, the location on Central Park South is excellent. Besides the vicinity to Central Park, there is a subway station (N,R lines)... more

My husband and I stayed for nights in October. I was a bit skeptical after reading many reviews. We were pleasantly surprised when we checked in. The receptionist couldn't have been nicer and we loved our room (14th floor junior suite with park view). We loved the elegance of this hotel and the staff was very helpful. Wonderful location. Would... more

This hotel on Central Park South is ideal for walking to major sites in Manhattan. The location cannot be beat! We walked to ABC studios, Columbus Circle, the Frik Museum, 5th Avenue, etc. Whole Foods inthe LL of Columbus Circle is great for picking up groceries. The hotel has outdated furnishings. Beds were the worst! My colleagues all mentioned this... more

Ok. I've never done this before. I feel compelled to write about how bad this hotel is because my stay was awful. First, I travel a lot and have stayed at a wide variety of hotels - from rooms going for $1,200 a night to rooms going for $20 a night. I like to think of myself as a good... more
