Very happy with our stay here. Great location and very good on site restaurant. The snack area was much appreciated too (included in the additional daily resort fee). Very walkable to Rockefeller Center and Times Square and Broadway shows, as well as very quick walk to Grand Central station to catch the subway to everywhere else we wanted to go.

Came to NYC for a family wedding. The room was small but had a king bed and was comfortable. Loved the second floor library lounge with coffee and snacks. The rooftop bar was awesome. Dislike the added Resort fee as it is a Hotel and not a resort.
