Long weekend stay with my husband and two kids, 15 and 11. Priorities for our stay were: quiet, clean, king beds, high floor rooms. This hotel has no frills (other than breakfast), lobby is small but serviceable, only two elevators means you might wait a little bit for a ride up or downs and rooms are spartan, but it hit all the right notes for our needs. Midtown location was excellent. We spent the majority of our trip below 36th, but liked the walkability to Bryant Park, Rockefeller and the very brief time we spent in Times Square. High floors are key in NYC hotels. I would not go lower than the 20th floor on a “quieter” block like the one this hotel is on. We had two rooms one the 21st and 24th floors, respectively. Staff was friendly and accommodating, rooms were ready early, and checkout is at noon instead of 10 am like other properties I considered. Felt like a good value for the money.
