Pros (+) Love the location, staff helpful & friendly.
Cons (-) Windows did not close properly, drafty & noisy.
Pros (+) Great service and close to many destinations
Pros (+) The staff was friendly and helpful providing subway directions and breakfast suggestions. They had umbrellas available when we had rain.
Pros (+) From the location to the helpful, friendly staff, I loved this hotel. It was clean, comfortable and beautiful. The on-site restaurant was very good as well.
Cons (-) I didn't like leaving to go home!
Pros (+) The hotel was nice, but it is really the location that sells the place. Can't beat it. A block from Central Park, across from the Museum of Natural History.
Cons (-) Bathrooms were a bit dated, and the plumbing seemed temperamental, but it was more than adequate.
Cons (-) Drained very slowly
Pros (+) The location was great. Half block to Central Park, subway and bus. Bed comfy. Bathroom small but clean and plush. Restaurant had great food.
Cons (-) Scaffolding obscures view and workers during daytime decrease privacy. Friday am, noisy road work started 4:30. No doorman to help when leaving and needing a cab. Pay for in room WiFi. Room cost increased by ~25% various taxes.
Pros (+) I loved the location.
Pros (+) Great location, pretty, away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square/Midtown
Cons (-) Not a business hotel. Need to pay for WIFI. No room service. No coffee machine. Only coffee available is at the breakfast room and they charge you $2.50 just to get a cup in the morning. Not the expense but the nuisance and inconvenience. No shops on site. Just vending machine. They try to pretend to be upscale here but nothing about it is upscale - from the property to amenities to service. Hugel...
