Very Good Location, Decent Hotel
The hotel itself is not really worth the price you pay, but the location is probably the best in the city. This hotel is connected to Grand Central Station, so it's very convenient to jump on the subway and get to anywhere in the city. It's only one stop away from Times Square(with a subway shuttle running until midnight) and from there you can get to all the tourist sights in the city. If you don't want to take the train, no problem, you can get to quite a few places within 20 minutes. The Empire State Building, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center is about 10 minutes. A walk to the east harbour and the United Nations building is also 10 minutes. A walk to Central Park is about 20 minutes, but you can walk down either 5th Avenue of Madison Avenue and take in the shopping on the way there. And if you want to go to a Yankees game, there a shuttle from Grand Central Station right to the stadium. As for the actual hotel, the lobby is nice and clean, the rooms are actually fairly large for New York, but nothing luxurious, just your basic hotel room. But you don't pay for the room, you pay for the location.
