A Gem of a Location
We stayed here a couple of nights to be more in the thick of the action on a multi centre trip to the USA. The location of this hotel is perfect, just around the corner from Columbus Circle and the entrance to Central Park, the top of Fifth Avenue and easy walking distance to much of mid town Manhattan. Surrounded by places to eat and shop and jaw dropping sights at every corner this hotel is a great base for exploring.
We arrived at 11am and were able to check in right away which was a blessing, we had a double king room on the 2nd floor which was immaculate with comfy beds and free wifi. We booked through Hotels.com and took a chance on one of their 'nameless hotels in midtown Manhattan for $94 per night' and this is the bargain we got. The only downside was booking this way landed us a smoking room when we wanted non-smoking and there were no nonsmoking alternatives available however the room was well aired and fresh and didn't even smell of smoke, It had operable windows which was refreshing and we had room service dinner which was excellent value for money and HUGE portions.
The hotels has tons of facilities including a pool, fitness room, business centre, cafe, bar, restaurant and our booking came with free breakfast too so we really got a bargain. The breakfast was fabulous, lots of choice and well prepared.
Bathroom toiletries were fabulous, the best we've had in a hotel and the staff were friendly and helpful without being in your face. Great guy helped us get our taxi when we left and nothing was too much bother for anyone.
I'd recommend this hotel to anyone it was a real bargain and the beds were sooo comfy and the linens were of a very high quality, the best towels of our trip too, fluffy, soft and white.
The shop was great too with everything you might need if you've not taken half of your bathroom or medicine cabinet with you or if you fancied a chocolate snack.
