Wonderful stay, this hotel is older but beautifully maintained. Staff is super helpful and responsive. A perfect place if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of midtown but still have great access to everything. Safe to walk around. The restaurant next door is excellent for breakfast, lunch or a glass of wine!

The location of this hotel is only matched by the quiet room I scored on the third floor towards the back of the building. The bed was really comfortable although the pillows were too thick and plump! The staff were helpful and always alert. The restaurant next door was convenient and the food good, though pricey, as is all of NYC. All in all I highly recommend this place — it’s a little dated in style and the lobby not a dream, but I like that kind of thing.

Beautiful hotel. Safe neighborhood and so many amazing restaurants nearby. The staff were gracious and accommodating. We visited in October when hotel prices throughout the city were high. I am so glad we stayed in this hotel in a charming older building rather than in a generic new hotel. Oh, and amazing water pressure. Would stay again.

Located on the upper west side of Manhattan. Close to subway station, Central Park and many dining options. Room was small but comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. It’s pricy but ….. I may stay there next visit.

Nice hotel. The staff was helpful, the rooms very clean. It's an older building, but everything is pretty much up to date. It's conveniently located being just a block from a subway stop and the natural history museum, and a couple of blocks from Central Park. Good selection of restaurants in the area as well.
