Two 50 something Moms with two 20 something daughters shared a room for a long weekend. Great staff, wonderful concierge with great recommendations (loved DaNico in Little Italy). Relaxing bar, reasonably priced. Very central location with great deli right next door for coffee and breakfast. Room was cramped, but expected that with four women sharing two queen sized beds. Very crowded with European tourists which made for very interesting people watching (and listening). Would return without hestation....good value for price!

Room was small and simple, but very quiet and perfectfor a great night sleep. Unusual in the city. Staff is made up of veterans, from front desk to housekeeping. They don't try too hard, no frantic excess, but get the job done. Food is excellent and a good value. Location is very good, close to Grand Central, close to Times Square but far enough away to escape the madness. Ask for a room upgrade if the room does not suit.
