A little setback
Loved the hotel actually. Was charged a $100 resort fee when checking out. I asked about any added fees when I checked in and was told there weren’t any.

Will stay here again
Came to NYC for a family wedding. The room was small but had a king bed and was comfortable. Loved the second floor library lounge with coffee and snacks. The rooftop bar was awesome. Dislike the added Resort fee as it is a Hotel and not a resort.

Disappointed
Booked The Library as I had stopped in a sister hotel on last visit to NYC, and I knew they had a rooftop bar and a great complimentary cheese board. Was very disappointed to learn the rooftop bar was closed for a private event until 9pm and that’s where the cheeseboard was offered! Won’t book here again.

Short business trip. Location very convenient to grand central terminal and midtown. Petite room is fine unless you are planning on spending a lot of time in the room

Service provided and the location.
Great location for tourist sites and shopping.
Initially had a small issue with our room, but the manager changed us into a different room, with an upgrade. Loved the new room. Very kind. As was his time as we chatted for 20 minutes about restaurants.
Excellent restaurants around. Madison and Vine was so convenient and excellent as was the Mediterranean restaurant around the corner.
Really enjoyed the 24 hour access to the room on level 2 for complimentary drinks and snacks. Some variety would be great though.
Gym access to Blink fitness was seamless.
Hard working doorman was delightful.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
