First time to NYC. Spent 4 nights at this hotel. Excellent breakfast every morning…it gets busy but they keep everything replenished, clean and lots of seating options…just need to be patient. Eggs, different breakfast meat every morning, hashbrowns, cereal, bread and bagels, waffles and really good coffee. Staff are always happy and helpful. Great with directions and advice. Room is clean and well laid out…there is some road noise but where doesn’t this exist in NYC! We had a great view of the Empire state building. The location is excellent - short walk to Empire, Macy’s (amazing at Xmas) , NYC library , Times, Rockefeller, St Pats , grand Central. Subway to get anywhere is literally at end of the street. We used it to reach Museum of Natural History, Met museum and ferry to Statue of Liberty. It can be confusing but after a 5 min explanation from the seasoned subway rider last at the front desk it helped simplify. I really appreciated the time they took to walk me over through all the options. Note that you can just tap your credit card every time you go onto the subway…loved that feature. We used the parking just down the street…great service and no damage to the car….it is $55/day with the hotel validating the ticket. Many great spots to eat nearby - highly recommend Roma pizza around the corner if you want a great New York pizza slice or two. We went back twice!
