Perfect hotel for NYC sightseeing
We stayed here for Thanksgiving week with my family (5 adults split in 2 rooms) and had a great experience! The staff was warm and friendly from the second we walked in the door, and provided everything we needed, from extra towels to bagel reccomendations. The Double-Double room was big enough for 3 adults to share, but not huge. The beds are very comfortable and have nice linens. The decor of the hotel is very up to date - they use lots of mirrors to make the small spaces feel a bit bigger, and our room had a nice big TV!
It's worth it to sign up for the Kimpton InTouch (Loyalty) program. You get free wifi during your stay, and you get to take $15 of products from the mini bar for free. They also send out emails with special offers that are totally worth reading (we got a great deal on our rooms!)
It was easy to walk or take the subway to many destinations (Times Square, Central Park, etc.). We did have a little trouble hailing a cab during rush hour (since they were all full leaving Grand Central), but this was easily fixed by crossing the street, where available cabs were plentiful.
I would stay here again, and have already reccommended it to friends who are travelling to New York in the near future.
