Comfortable room, well appointed. The hotel's location is great for any midtown events or museums, tours, etc., plus close to stations and public transport. Appreciated the coffee and drinks in the reading room.

There was a doorman on duty when I arrived midday, but no one was at the door later in the evening or following morning. This absence made the hotel feel less safe, as the elevators do not require a room key to operate. Some of the room furnishings showed signs of wear/age, and for the hotel's price should be updated. Only one elevator was working when I arrived, which meant for long waiting times -- I wound up using the stairs multiple times because it was faster.

Staff was great. Enjoyed the rooftop bar after the theater. Location is really good, easy walk to Rockefeller Center, etc. Many good restaurants within a mile of the hotel. Good hot water and pressure in shower!

The rooms are small, but after the initial entry, it is fine for what you need. There could be more shelf space in the bathroom and space is available under the one shelf behind the door.

Location is perfect, and the reading room provides for an unbeatably comfortable/cozy lounge area. The building was undergoing maintenance on its exterior during my stay, so can't wait to return once all the scafolding is gone. All in all an excellent hotel for people looking for comfort and wellbeing that go beyond an impersonal cold luxurious building.

I missed finding a luggage rack/suitcase holder in the closet, I ended up having to open my large check-in suitcase on a marble round side table.

Friendly and helpful front desk staff. Very comfortable bed, strong shower. Comfortable little lobby.

Rooftop bar is sweet - wish the menu had more vegetable options/salad. Staff wasn't really ready for us at 2:30pm on a Saturday. Table service didn't really start until well after 3pm. But they were all nice.

Check-in was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Library room was a nice spot to work.

Petite queen room was very small. Also a fair amount of street noise.
