Good Service but Needs Updating
We couldn't check in early but we were able to store our luggage in the room behind the front desk for free while we walked around the city for a few hours before check in. The front desk workers were friendly and helpful as well were the bellmen. The room was clean and the beds looked nice. We had a room on the 4th floor with 2 double beds.The beds were decently comfortable but not the best. My major complaint would be the bathrooms. They are in desperate need of upgrading. The wallpaper is peeling off and just in general not appealing to be in. Also, the rooms are definitely not sound proof but luckly we are heavy sleepers so we weren't too bothered by the noise There is a new LCD tv in all rooms so that is a nice touch but I would definitely expect that from a 3 start hotel in NYC. Another complaint would be the size of the elevators. They are pretty tiny and can only fit about 4 people in them comfortably. Also, there are ice machines on every other floor depending on what tower you are in. But overall the hotel is a good value. We stayed from 7-20 to 7-23 (Friday to Monday) for $160/night through Hotwire. The locations is great. Defintely within walking distance to Central Park and Times Square and there is a subway station at Colubus Circle which is about 2 blocks away I believe. Also, it's about 2 blocks away from the Columbus Circle subway station. And about 5 or 6 blocks away is an amazing empanada restaurant called Empanada Mama-so delicious!
