Like other reviews have said, you really can’t beat the location! We could not believe how close it was to Central Park! We stayed with our 3 little kids (5, 3, and 7mo) and went to Central Park everyday for at least an hour to let them run around, so that was super convenient.
Pros:
-Location - super close to Central Park, Times Square, and subways.
-the staff was so friendly!! The doorman always remembered us and the cleaning staff was very attentive. Our room was promptly cleaned every morning.
- check in was easy at the front desk.
- The room: Super spacious with 2 closets and comfortable bed and pull out couch. It was quiet and had amazing black out curtains. Our kids slept in for once! :)
Cons:
-The room was not as modern as the photos. I know the listing says to expect different layouts of the room, but even the style itself was different and much more dated. It was clean though and spacious as mentioned above.
- no blow dryer in the room.
- The pack n play (crib) they provided did not come with a sheet. They gave us a huge thick wooly (itchy) blanket to lay down inside, which is super unsafe for small babies. I ultimately used one of our baby’s thin muslin blankets but it didn’t cover the entire bottom and so I didn’t sleep well because I was worried about him getting all tangled up. Lesson learned - I will always pack our own crib sheet now.
Overall, we loved this place and will stay again if we find ourselves back in NYC!
