Staying at the iconic Essex House was great! The hotel staff was very nice & friendly! The location is perfect the hotel is situated between the east side of New York City & Broadway!! It is an easy walk to Columbus Circle & the theater district. The are many excellent restaurants & bakeries in the area. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a long or short stay. It was especially great having a washer & dryer in the apartment for our 5 week visit to the city! I am looking forward to staying here again!
