I stayed here for NAB this week, and I have to say that I was impressed from the second I walked in. The staff couldn't have been more attentive, more professional, or more friendly. Everyone from the doorman to the folks in housekeeping were just fantastic. The folks on the front desk were outstanding. Quick about their business, but not in a rush as to make you feel unimportant, which is nice because they focus on YOU when they're welcoming you to their property. Even when I checked in, the lady I worked with said, "This is going to be your home for the next few days and we want you to be comfortable."
The hotel itself isn't but a couple NYC blocks from Macy's and Target and all'a that. You can walk easily to Times Square & Rockafeller Center for all that hoopla if you want. There's multiple subway stops nearby (34th and Penn Station for one) which are easily accessible if you don't want to blow your pizza budget on cabs. And there's a cool little corner market for random snacks, meals, sandwiches, etc.
Everything about this little gem in the city is great. The gym has PELOTON exercise bikes!!! I was so excited to find a decent gym onsite without having to hoof it to Soul Cycle or get a day pass to a city gym. The cool towels and water are nice touches too. All the weight machines, cardio machines (treadmills, cycles, and rowers) and dumbbells are in excellent condition.
The room I stayed in was perfect. You know how you go to NYC sometimes and the rooms are thimble sized? No. Not here. I had a super clean, king room which was quite comfortable. On entry, there was no dust, the surfaces were perfect. The bed linens were crisp, clean and without stain. The bathrooms are modern decor with nice bronzed fixtures and the shower is glassed in with lights and all the things that make you want to go to your local hardware shop and redo yours at home.
I could go on, but you should stay there when you go to hang out in NYC. ITS WORTH IT. You'll not be disappointed. And ask for Elisha when you check in...such a sweetheart.
