Based on 305 reviews
Pros +
- Very classic look and feel. The room was quite large by NYC standards. Staff was very pleasant. The view of Central Park was amazing.
- The staff was charming and helpful. The bathtub was deep. The sheets were high quality. The restaurant delicious. Central Park was right outside the front door.
- Location
Cons -
- We ran out of hot water early Sunday morning but that resolved by the 2nd showerer. Our view out the window was pretty terrible, but the room was otherwise wonderful. Roomy, king bed, pull out couch. But then for almost $---/night, it should be!
- The hotel charges an extra $35 a day Destination Fee once you check in, on top of all other taxes and fees when you book.
- Yes, on Tuesday our room was never cleaned nor were fresh towels brought in. Perhaps, that was Covid resurgence related and staffing but a disappointment for such a fine hotel.

The modern feel of the room, the spaciousness of the room, The location of the hotel and the views from the roon
The fact that we had to pay $75 to Park our car at the hotel
Even though I am Marriott gold we got a tiny room and exceedingly noisy
Fabulous historic hotel in a prime location. Over-the-top helpful staff.
I would have liked a coffee pot in the room.
Good sized clean room. Comfortable bed and close proximity to Central Park.
Great location. Good hotel bar.
I didn't get a park view.
The convenience of the location
No one told us about simple things when we checked in, such as the breakfast and using the valet. There are hidden fees everywhere.
As is the case, they place a hold on your card equal to a preset amount. The charged me twice, equal to the full room price and when I called to tell them of their mistake, they said they would fix (two different people) They in fact did not!!
