The hotel is conveniently located in a nice neighborhood on the UWS, easily accessible to major attractions and transportation. The rooms, though on the smaller side, are well-appointed with comfortable beds, and the service is welcoming and professional.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a great size and very clean but had an old-fashioned look. The staff were helpful and accommodating, especially after my delayed flight, but I had to insist on a room change due to the temperature issue. The location was outstanding, close to major attractions and subway access, but the dining options were a bit overpriced for what they offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quiet and easy to access, but the noise from traffic and bars disrupted my sleep. Also, the rooms tended to get hot and humid. The service was superb, especially the men at the entrance who were very nice and helpful. However, the price may not fully reflect the value received. The location was convenient with easy access to transportation and amenities, but the noise levels could be bothersome at times.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and secure, but a little small - typical for NYC, but not the smallest. My only issue was the lack of enough outlets for all our devices with my husband and two teenagers along. The service was very helpful and excellent, especially the concierge who arranged good seats for a Broadway play. The location was outstanding, close to the subway, museum, and Central Park. The dining options were very good, and reasonably priced. Overall, a nice experience.

I found the hotel to be a mix of pros and cons. While the rooms were large, quiet, and exuded old New York charm, there was an issue with noise insulation. The location, however, was excellent, close to Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, and many restaurants. The friendly service made up for any shortcomings in the rooms.

The hotel rooms are quaint and beautiful with modern amenities, very clean and well-presented, but became intermittently noisy when the shower was on. The staff is helpful and courteous overall, but a few front desk staff lack friendliness. The location is excellent, close to transportation and various attractions. The dining options are excellent with something for all tastes, but the breakfast could be improved. Facilities are charming with new baths and great staff.
