WOW - perfect location, moderately priced for NYC
We just returned from our weekend at the Jewel...what a gem! It is perfectly situated - within a short walk to Times Square, right across from Rockefeller Center. The room was great - superior room with a Queen bed and a pull out chair bed. Nice kitchenette area which was an added bonus. We didn't get a room with a balcony (unfortunately), but had a nice view. We stayed on the 7th floor and didn't hear any street noise. The room had a great AC, so it was very cool - but also able to control the temp yourself. Even the window opened if we wanted fresh air - not a usual thing in NYC hotel. Bathroom was fine - only disappointment was a pocket door - not ideal. Great closet space - we had more room than we could use. For NYC, this is a big room. Free bottled water on every floor which really saves money. Very helpful front receptionist - gave us a recommendation for Azalea's restaurant within a short walk from the hotel - which was excellent! We were also given a coupon for the Terrace right next door (sat outside for a drink). We've stayed many times in NYC - Times Squre, 5th Ave, etc. - but this boutique hotel is a keeper. We will definitely return - excellent choice for us.
