I had a pleasant stay at the hotel in a lovely, quiet neighborhood near Central Park. The rooms were comfortable, but the heat was a bit challenging to control.

The hotel is in a prime location near Central Park and the Museum of Natural History, making it a great escape from the hustle and bustle. The rooms, though small, are clean and come with convenient amenities, such as a mini-fridge and microwave. The service is top-notch, with staff being exceptionally friendly and helpful. The dining options are limited but satisfactory, offering craveable salads, though not ideal for all meals.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, were quite small, and the bathroom was cramped. Even with the heat off and the window open during a snowy night, the room was uncomfortably hot. However, the service was friendly, and the staff made us feel safe and even checked us in for our return flights. The location was convenient, close to subways and attractions like the Museum of Natural History and Central Park. The dining options were limited, with only complimentary tea and coffee. The facilities were average, with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers a decent room with two twin beds, a functional TV, and a private toilet for around $90. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering prompt service and even giving a discount for any unpleasant sightings. The location is brilliant, right next to the Natural History Museum and Central Park, making it easy to access all the main attractions by foot or subway. The dining options consist of nearby delis and a coffee machine, but breakfast is not included in the over $300 per night rate. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with great value for the price.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was small but well laid out, which was perfect for a solo traveler like me. However, the heating system made it uncomfortably hot the first night. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was an incident where the staff refused to assist me in a time of need. The location was great, situated in a lovely Upper West Side neighborhood with convenient access to attractions and the subway. The dining options were satisfactory, with a casual restaurant available, but the prices could be a bit high. The facilities were decent overall, providing a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, being steps away from Central Park and close to some great restaurants. However, the rooms were quite basic without even a table or chair, which was a downside. The service was warm and welcoming, offering prompt assistance, but there were some issues with addressing situations promptly. The dining options were good, but the lack of a proper dining area could be inconvenient. Overall, a convenient location with some room for improvement.
