GREAT LOCATION
Stayed 4 nights at this hotel in Sept 2012. Perfect location - only 5 mins walk from Grand Central Station. Noisey due to the central location (traffic/air con fans outside/ general hum of the city) but hey what do you expect in the middle of Manhatten - nothing some cheap foam ear plugs couldnt deal with. The room was old fashioned and tired - not a problem though because you dont visit NY to stay in your room! The beds were clean and very comfy. We were in a larger room than our friends so we had 2 double beds - which was great because it was so hot - so cooler to sleep separate. Good maid service - room clean and fresh each day. We didnt have breakfast included but ordered room service each morning for tea/coffee. This was perfect - good english breakfast tea (Twinnings) - although it was expensive. Friendly door staff - who will store your luggage for a tip! Good diner just across the road called "Moonstruck" - do a great choice for breakfast. I would use this hotel again. I would love to stay in a "posh" hotel but havent got that kind of money.
