Could not ask for more.
I usually look for a deal when I go to New York but always try to stop in a nice hotel and The Jewel fits the bill. Excellent location and smart rooms and for the price you could not ask for more. The hotel has a nice lounge area with internet access for guests and on each floor there is a store cupboard containing items for guests so no need to hassle the front desk. It seems like early days for the hotel and everybody there is trying to find there feet but I'm sure in time things will run very smoothly, to be fair to the staff when I emailed before my visit they got back to me really quickly which was nice. But I must say that my favourite feature of the hotel is the free purified water on each floor, you just take a bottle and then fill it with ice cold water and its an excellent feature. I was going to bed with a bottle of water instead of a soda and that is a good thing. Will definitely consider returning when I go back to New York.
