The location of this hotel is unbeatable, being right next to Central Park and within walking distance to many other interesting areas in a short walking distance. The hotel facilities, especially the exercise facilities and pools, were impressive and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Can't fault the property in any way.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even when I had a payment issue while coming back drunk one night. The location was absolutely amazing, just across the road from Central Park and a short walk from Times Square. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, with well-kept restrooms and showers. The hotel facilities, especially the enormous gym on the fourth floor, were impressive. this hotel is a great choice for budget-conscious travelers who enjoy exercising and want a prime location.
