Hotel was in an excellent spot for exploring. Only a few minutes from the Empire State Building and a 15 minute walk to Macy’s and even Summit One on Vanderbilt. We never ate in the hotel, so can’t comment on the food. It’s in a great location for lots of Korean and Japanese restaurants as well. Very handy for the Metro, which is literally a 2 minute walk from the front door.

We stayed for the US Open, it was convenient, clean, and comfortable. Rooms are small, hotel does not have all the bells and whistles of the big ones, but for what we needed it was great. Highly recommended, would stay here again.
