Above and beyond expectation!
I booked this hotel for a 5 day stay for our 22nd wedding anniversary. It was central to mid-town, close enough to the action and transport with subway station across the park, but away from busy Times Square. It is a perfect location opposite the beautiful Bryant Park, an oasis in the city, next to the New York Public Library and a short walk from Grand Central, Rockefeller Centre, Times Square and the Empire State Building. Plenty of convenience stores around the hotel, cafe's and pharmacies. We booked a Junior Suite for extra room and it was more than worth the extra dollars for this larger space. Big King size bed, lounge seating area, desk, mounted flat screen and huge bathroom with separate bath and shower. The room was immaculately clean, the linen was crisp, the huge bath sheets soft and fluffy. The room had a mini bar and my only criticism is there are no tea/coffee making facilities. Stunning views of the park especially at night as the park was lit up with huge spot lights. The service at the hotel was outstanding, from every single person we had contact with all were warm, friendly and interested without being obtrusive or pushy. I honestly can't fault our stay at the Bryant Park Hotel. It was everything we'd hoped it to be and more. I am particularly fussy as I am an international Flight Attendant and can be very critical of service and amenities. I have no hesitation returning to the Bryant Park Hotel or recommending this as a place to stay to friends, family or my passengers. I hope one day I can return to New York and when I do I will be staying here agin.
