Good value and location
This hotel is indeed great value, $220 a night during the US Open weeks. It's in a very good location and walking distance to Grand Central Station. The entrance and reception area are really quite impressive and everything looks promising. We have to wait unti 3.30 for our room to become available and sit in the comfortable lounge area. The room is on one of the top floors and the views are wonderful. The room itself is quite basic, no fridge, no mirrors in the bedroom, broken hairdryer with replacement plug in one, very comfortable beds so hence the good rating. Air con works well and generally we are very happy with our choice. Would say go to this hotel if you are not looking for extras in the room and just need a good location and nice comfy beds. I'd go back if the price was right.
