Amenities & Services
On-site facilities include an exercise room, a business center, and meeting space, supporting both fitness routines and work needs while traveling. Some guests noted that certain common amenities are available on request rather than being immediately visible, so it can be worth asking staff directly about what's on offer.
Location
The hotel sits roughly 466m from Times Square and just 257m from Bryant Park, with Grand Central Terminal about 775m away and the Empire State Building around 596m distant. Rockefeller Center, Top of The Rock, and St. Patrick's Cathedral are all within roughly a kilometer, while The Museum of Modern Art, The Plaza, and The High Line are also reachable on foot, making the property a strong walking base for Midtown sightseeing.
Best for
This hotel suits sightseers and theater-goers who want to walk to Times Square, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, and the Empire State Building rather than rely on transit, as well as business travelers who need a business center and meeting space in a central Midtown location. It also works well for guests who value practical in-room conveniences like a desk, minifridge, and coffeemaker for longer stays, and for small groups or families who can use suite living areas for extra space.
Travel tips
The hotel is within easy walking distance of major sights, with Bryant Park just a few minutes away and Times Square and Grand Central Terminal both under a 10-minute walk, so comfortable shoes are worth packing. Guests note the block itself is quieter than nearby Times Square while still being close to the action, which is useful to know when choosing a room. If a specific amenity isn't visible in common areas, ask the front desk directly, as some guests found this necessary to access certain facilities.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight the hotel's central Midtown location, praising its proximity to Times Square, Bryant Park, and easy access from both Penn Station and Grand Central, while several also note the street itself is relatively quiet for such a busy area. Staff friendliness and helpfulness at the front desk, along with smooth and fast check-in, come up repeatedly as positives, as does room cleanliness, comfortable beds, and generous room sizes. Breakfast, which includes Starbucks coffee, is mentioned favorably by some guests, though price value is a recurring point of comparison, with some noting the nightly rate does not always include breakfast. A minority of reviews mention that common amenities aren't always visible or available without asking staff directly.
