Best for
Travelers who prioritize location and fast city access will get the most value here, thanks to the hotel’s placement at Grand Central and walkability to Midtown landmarks like Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center. It also suits guests who want modern in-room basics (Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TV, Bluetooth speakers) and the option to upgrade to suites with separate living space for spreading out.
Travel tips
If you plan to rely on subways or commuter rail, staying at Grand Central Terminal (about 150 m away) makes getting around Manhattan and beyond straightforward, especially for early departures or late arrivals. Many headline sights are walkable—Times Square is about 1.0 km away and the Empire State Building about 886 m—so comfortable shoes can reduce the need for taxis. Reviews mention extra charges (including a resort fee and paid luggage storage), so budget for potential add-on costs if you need bag hold on arrival/departure days.
What guests say
Guest feedback most consistently highlights the hotel’s standout advantage: an exceptionally convenient Grand Central location that makes Midtown sightseeing and transit simple. Staff service is frequently described as helpful, including bell and taxi assistance, and several reviews note comfortable beds and a smooth check-in experience. Room comfort and condition are often viewed positively, with guests calling out bathrooms and showers in particular. Recurring negatives include frustration with added costs (such as a resort fee and paid luggage storage) and disappointment around breakfast options, described as limited and not a traditional breakfast room.
