This hotel is for those looking for location,price,and cleanliness, not 5 star. This hotel was on central park west, 2 blocks from a subway, basic but clean, helpful staff, fuzzy tv reception, private bath, requested room with a balcony and overlooking central park, got both. Paid with tax $134 in nyc november. I saw hostels with shared bathrooms for that... more

I went to NY together with my sister in end of June and beginning of July 2009. We came to the hotel in the evening and was met by a door man and he took our luggage in. We got the key to our room and we took the elevator up. Found our room and was surprised how BIG it... more

stayed at this hotel for a long weekend of shopping and sightseeing. The location is great, the room wasn't the biggest but it was very clean and maids came in everyday. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Sam the doorman, lovely guy! The subway is a five minute walk from the hotel. Basically, the hotel is clean,... more

Great little diner about 2 blocks away recommended by... more

We stayed three nights on our trip to NYC and found the hotel to be clean, the staff extremely helpful. The hotel is similar to many European hotels at which we stayed in the past. The location was good when you can't afford the $300 plus a night per person to stay in Manhattan, or don't wish to spend that... more

A bit out of the way from downtown but certainly not an issue. Near subway station which made getting around easy. Not very touristy...more authentic New Yorker feel. Hotel is a great home base and right across from Central Park West. Don't stress the negative reviews, this is great. more

I booked a one-night stay at this hotel on a whim through lastminutetravel.com at an obscenely low rate. Check-in was painless at about 2:30 p.m. on a weekday afternoon; I was offered smoking or non-smoking room at that time. I was not given a room with a view of the park as I requested upon booking, but I did not... more

We got a good deal to this hotel through lastminutetravel.com and was happy to get a room with a private bath for the price of a hostel in NYC! The hotel is located on 106th and Central Park West, it is convenient to 110th and 103rd subway stations as well as plenty of buses that run near by. We arrived... more
