This was an OK experience. Rooms are very outdated, definitely don’t fell like 5 star hotel, more like 3 starts. Not pleasant to be in. But they were clean, and cleaning lady was very sweet. Restaurant was extremely expensive, breakfast for 8 (4 adults, 3 kids and a baby) was on average $600-800. Dinner consists only of appetizers, they tasted very good, but prices were way too high. Most Waiters were nice enough, but some were borderline rude. For example, I asked them to bring covered paper cups and straws for children’s drinks, and she said: “absolutely no.” It was so rude that I thought, she was joking. But she meant it, because she didn’t bring the cups. They serve croissants cold and juice is not freshly squeezed. For this price tag, we would expect to at least have a warm croissant. Other than that, the food quality was good enough, but nothing extraordinary. The restaurant is very gloomy and tables are uncomfortable. The first three floors of the building is a historic mansion, which was fascinating. Especially, we loved the old library, with very old books some from 17th century. Gym and spa area are nice. We didn’t like the location because it’s in the middle of all action, which normally would be a good thing, but in NYC it’s overwhelming. There were a lot of homeless persons/mentally ill people entering the hotel, wondering around, sitting there on chairs for a long time and it’s not well controlled. We would pick a calmer area for our next stay.

The staff is kind and approachable in every way. Compliments to them. While not grand, the common areas are comfortable and old school stylish. Our room on the 23rd floor was spacious by Manhattan standards. That being said, it’s in terrible need of a refurbishing. There was a pungent odor in the bathroom- moldy cheese and not in the good funky way. There are many better options at this price and below. If it weren’t for the location I’d probably knock it down a half star.

This property is old and outdated. The staff is lovely but couldn’t make up for the small, stale outdated rooms. Truly two star at best. You can tell this hotel was something special 25 years ago. But for the price point currently, there are better options.

Beautiful hotel, immaculate public areas. Bedroom was quite tired in parts, and the beds quite small considering they were meant for 2 people (our room was a family room to sleep 4, our children are 6 & 2) Bathroom is also quite small for a family, but overall it was peaceful, clean & very comfortable in a perfect location.

The prospect was beautiful and clean. The staff was all nice and went above and beyond . The location was great. Easy walk to Central Park, time square. The shopping un the area was amazing. Enough food selections to walk to both small bodegas and sit down restaurants. ONLY negative part was the thin walls. Count not sleep in as every morning we could hear the people in the room next to us. I mean we could even hear them open and close the blinds.

The scenery of this hotel is amazing. Very walkable to and from tourist hot spots. The rooms were nice, 4/5 in our opinion as some of the features in the room were tired and outdated. The TV was on the small side and was not up to date with smart technology. We heard what seemed to be an animal in the walls? Or very squeaky ventilation. The bathroom products were nice smelling. We enjoyed the housecoats and slippers. We thought it was strange that there wasn't a fridge for us to put our items in like water. Only the incredibly expensive hotel items for you to purchase. $45 for a half bottle of wine. No thanks. The staff are extremely friendly and work hard at making your stay a special one. Would recommend this hotel.
