I've stayed at (and liked) many NYC hotels, but this one was near the top of my faves list. The central location is great, but it's still relatively quiet because it looks over Bryant Park. My room was super clean and spacious (I think I had a junior suite) and filled with light, and I loved that I had a nice bathtub and a separate shower. The hotel is undergoing some renovations, which should be done in the next several months, but the rooms are really great now. But the best of all were the terrific staff. John welcomed me to the hotel, and then remembered my name two days later! The doorman (whose name I sadly cannot remember) helped me get a cab to the airport (which was much cheaper than an Uber) and was generally helpful. I really appreciated these nice personal touches. I would absolutely stay here again.
