Rooms are small but comfortable and sufficient for a single occupant. Plenty bathrooms to share. very clean. Excellent gim on premises. Only negative was that the room was right on top of the central air conditioners fans. Very noisy. Overall great value for the price.

The location is great! Very close to Grand Central Station, the United Nations offices, restaurants, delis, coffee shops (I love that lovely coffee shop near-by, Remi NYC. Delicious coffee!) Fitness facility was great for the place. Great cardio equipments. Pretty well-stocked weight equipment facility. Swimming pool and spa. Nice. As hotel guests, you can use these facilities. For the price, my room (after I made an upgrade) was quite nice and spacious (for NYC standard.) If you are a solo traveler and is seeking comfort and a feeling of privacy and security (with a door that has an extra swing bar lock)

We had to wait in the line on reception for 25 minutes. After that the girl on the reception coughed hard on our keys before giving them. After that we just found out that our room wasn’t clean! Gross Then she wasn’t sure the next room was free, so we went to check this out. And this room was for one person!!! We finally got the room only on third try.
Great location

“It was OK.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
I -- and a few other guests could NOT get into our respective rooms as our key cards did NOT work. The maintenance person tried to help fix the issue to no avail. Not his fault I believe, it was just the key system at the doors seemed to not function properly. Checking-in was a stressful affair. Long queue. Staff at Reception Desk seemed to be doing their best under such stressful, tiring circumstances. The staff did NOT inform me the WiFi connection, but I decided to use my own mobile connection anyway. As a solo traveler, I initially booked a single bed room with shared bathroom. This room had no "do not disturb card" so at time of my check-in (between 3-4 P.M.) the cleaning staff knocked on my door wanted to clean my room that was already made. This room also did NOT have that swing-bar lock that I could lock inside as an extra security. (Literally anyone with a general access key could enter the room as I could not secure it with an extra swing lock from inside. Big red flag for a female solo guest like me!) So I finally decided I had to upgrade to another room with private bathroom on a different floor as I also did not feel comfortable with a certain male guest who happened to stay in front of my initial room. My initial room also felt a bit "off' the sheets smelled funny, etc. So I requested an upgrade. The upgraded rooms with private bathrooms are surprisingly nice (considering their other rooms, the ones with shared bathrooms are pretty much like hostels)
The location is great! Very close to Grand Central Station, the United Nations offices, restaurants, delis, coffee shops (I love that lovely coffee shop near-by, Remi NYC. Delicious coffee!) Fitness facility was great for the place. Great cardio equipments. Pretty well-stocked weight equipment facility. Swimming pool and spa. Nice. As hotel guests, you can use these facilities. For the price, my room (after I made an upgrade) was quite nice and spacious (for NYC standard.) If you are a solo traveler and is seeking comfort and a feeling of privacy and security (with a door that has an extra swing bar lock)

“Great location and place to stay in New York (WATCH out for the vending machines. )”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 4 nights
Toilet was blocked and never sorted Beds were Never changed daily we had to literally go to reception and physically ask why are bed-lining had not been cleaned/ changed only for the linen to still not be sorted. Lockers are assigned to members of the club there so you cant just walk in pick a locker and go for a swim or use the gym you have to be told at reception which ones are free and which ones aint. Gym had people working out in it in Flip flops, jeans and heels even-though it has signs up saying wear correct gym gear. Every morning i was constantly asked by the cleaner are you leaving today, are you leaving today, are you leaving today. even though i would have thought she would have had a list given to her of rooms she needed to clean. There is no microwave in the kitchen only a hob cooker which wasn't useful for cooking much and the pots are super large. Air con was super loud so couldn't sleep at night with it on. Vending Machines did not work So lost $2.50 in them and didnt get my items, when i asked staff and the security man on duty what i should do they just shrugged and said sorry we cant do nothing about it the vending machines aint ours. So lost the money and wasn't given my items but the friend staying with me when it happened to her she got her money back why did i not get given my money back.
Perfect location in New York for shopping, sightseeing, travelling and visiting restaurants Steam room and sauna was amazing and so super hot!! Two swimming pools to used and social pool and a lane pool, Good gym to work out in with TV and internet to watch while using them. Big Fridge in the room.
