Small clean stylish room, perfectly polite and friendly service.
The queen standard was very small. BUT very stylish room and clean, great bed and bedding. When in NYC this is what you want! Clean and good bedding for a good price! The professionalism and politeness of the staff was excellent. 
The location of mid to upper west side could not be beat. The park, museums, Lincoln Center, Time Warner building, everything mid to upper Manhattan is within walking distance. We have been to NYC many many times, stayed at many hotels, this is a good choice for the upper west side. I paid $259. Plus taxes, plus $55. Valet parking. A great price for the area. Booking.com
I must say though, if you are a large plus person, you may find the queen standard room too small for comfort. My husband and I are average plus a bit :) , and we were ok. I like clean( hardwood floors and tile a big plus! Which it had). A small desk, flat screen tv, fridge., closet area, good shower pressure, helpful concierge. Not the typical street to lobby layout, but this made no difference to the experience. IMPORTANT ... The outside of the hotel has no SIGNAGE. ( new marketing to seem exclusive...???). Check the website and save photo to recognize the front so you don't drive by it. I am 47 yr. old, my husband is 54, .. Been all over the world, and would rate this a 7.75 ( only because the room was small..but its only what you need in NYC) out of 10. Would book again. Go to NYC, the greatest city on the planet!!! I fell so lucky to live only 3 hours away.
