I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic, but the inner yard view with ventilation systems made it feel like being at an airport. The service was kind and helpful overall, although the Concierge was a little offhand at times. The location was super convenient, especially for shopping in Madison and Fifth Avenue, but a bit far from popular spots like Times Square. The dining was expensive but excellent, especially the grilled steaks.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were way too small for three people, but the terrace offered a fabulous view from Park Ave to Central Park, even though the 'view' to the inner yard with all the ventilation systems was disappointing. The service was courteous and attentive, making the hotel function with great professional skills and a big heart. The location was convenient, with close proximity to excellent restaurants and attractions, but it was a letdown that the dining options were very expensive. The facilities were good overall, but the room size and dining costs left more to be desired.

My stay at the hotel was indeed comfortable and spacious for NYC standards, with large, traditional style rooms that were very nice and roomy. However, the lack of coffee facilities was a downside. The service was exceptional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in providing the greatest hospitality possible, making my experience truly outstanding. While the location was a bit out of date in terms of technology with no USB ports and difficult-to-access power sockets, being just steps away from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and prestigious shopping avenues balanced it out. The dining experience was delightful but on the expensive side, comparable to other 5-star options in NYC. The facilities were top-notch, offering a great experience overall.
