Location, location, location
Great spot: a block from the subway, two blocks from AMNH and Central Park. Best thing for us, we arrived early to drop off our luggage and go sightseeing. But our room was ready (totally unexpected) so we were able to check-in, freshen up, and head out. Totally unexpected and may not work out for anyone else, but that really made our trip.

Exceptional Staff in Convenient Location
Arrived well before check in and were pleasantly surprised the front desk allowed us to check in early! Can’t thank them enough for this! It really made a difference when we were tired and had a packed itinerary. Room was clean and shower had excellent pressure. Hotel is located just a few minutes walk from Subway line one which made getting around the city a breeze.
