6.6/10

The hotel's location is excellent, just a moment's walk from Grand Central Station, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were disappointing, very close together and strongly smelling of smoke. Despite the polite service, there were issues with executing basic requests like wake-up calls. The dining experience was tasty, with a delicious steak, but lacking in breakfast options. The facilities were standard.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was amazing, just a short walk from Grand Central Station, making it easy to get around. The rooms, although spacious enough, were extremely dark due to the need to keep the curtains closed for warmth during winter.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious, which was a major plus for my stay with my two daughters. However, they lacked natural daylight due to small windows and were in rough condition overall with worn-out furniture and stained marble. Despite the shortcomings, it was one of the largest rooms I have ever stayed in NYC.
