East Side Kid friendly Vacations

NYC is expensive so 500 a night is the going rate for a decent hotel. We chose this place because its was close to our daughter’s apartment. Again not bad and 20 minutes walking distance to Penn station. Room is a bit small but well decorated and very clean.

Excellent location in midtown in order to travel north or south of the manhattan. The rooms were large and comfortable, but the lighting in the room was very dim. We sent a note to the manager but there was no response. The only thing that was not good was charging the resort fee which was about $50 a day for amenities that most people in the hotel do not use. Restaurant off the lobby for breakfast and dinner was convenient and the staff were very attentive. However the breakfast was expensive ( $14- $18 for omelette / eggs or yogurt ) and it had a limited menu. We ended up going to various places on Madison which was half the price - eg. Pret n manger. We would stay again.

Popped in for a first time visit to New York for an event. The place was affordable for being downtown. Was right at Grand Central station so wherever we wanted to go was easily accessible by the Subways. Check in was easy and our room wasn’t huge by any means but that’s not most important to me. Just needs to be clean, a good shower and comfortable beds. Check check and check. Also having a mini fridge is a huge bonus. Gotta have cool drinks available at all times. Unfortunately the weekend was a rainy one for us. The fortunate thing though was the lobby had an umbrella checkout machine. Just sign up on the app and free umbrella use on weekends. Perfect. Just wish we saw it the first day. Overall the hotel took care of all our needs and was close to so many great attractions. We got to see so much stuff in our short few days thanks to this hotel. Will surely stay again in the future.

The hotel is in a great location and was super comfy. The staff were really helpful and friendly.
