It was a beautiful hotel. rooms were MUCH smaller than I had anticipated, which wasn't too big of a shock and wasn't an issue. Staff was very helpful

A very welcoming and comfortable hotel. The staff was friendly and very helpful, answering any questions or providing assistance. The decor was elegant and relaxing without being pretentious or intimidating. A great location near public transportation, Central Park, and the Museum of Natural History. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will surely book there again.

Pros: Location and cleanliness are the big pros. Also, the shower was large and beds were comfortable. The cons: The room was not ready at the stated 4pm check-in time and then we had to wait almost 30 minutes for them to figure out where they had misplaced our luggage (which we had checked with them earlier in the day so we could go to a museum). Turns out they had delivered it to another room. Took three people to figure that out. Aside from the shower itself, the rest of the bathroom was tiny and the room as a whole was definitely small for what is supposedly a luxury hotel.

Convenient location, with restaurants in the neighborhood. Subway stop 1 block away. Staff --housekeeping, desk and doormen -- were helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean. Both elevators worked during our stay.
