Best for
Best suited to travelers who want a central Midtown base for walking to iconic attractions like the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, Grand Central Terminal (about 852 m), and Times Square. It also fits guests who value on-site dining and drinks—especially the rooftop seasonal bar, lobby cocktail lounge, and milkshake-forward restaurant—along with practical in-room features like free Wi‑Fi and a minifridge.
Travel tips
If you’re planning an observation-deck day or photo stop, the Empire State Building is extremely close (about a 2–3 minute walk), which can make early-morning visits easier. For a mix of sightseeing and downtime, Bryant Park is under a 10-minute walk and is a convenient place to take a break between Midtown stops like Rockefeller Center (about 1.1 km) and St. Patrick’s Cathedral (about 1.25 km). The hotel is also described as near Herald Square and an easy walk to Times Square and Bryant Park, making it a practical base for both walking and quick subway connections.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight the hotel’s standout Midtown location, noting that major attractions and the subway are easy to reach on foot. Service is a frequent positive theme, with staff described as welcoming and check-in reported as smooth even with late arrivals. Comfort is also emphasized, particularly the beds and overall room feel, and some guests mention appreciated extras in upgraded rooms such as complimentary drinks in the refrigerator. A minor recurring caveat is that bathrooms can feel small (often considered typical for New York), and there is an occasional report of a transient bedding odor that resolved during the stay.
