“Great place to stay!”

Great hotel. We stayed here for the NYC Marathon. Great location only a few steps from Central Park. Our room was big for NYC. We had reserved a queen, but got "upgraded" to a double sweet, with sitting area. Breakfast buffet was very good. Convenient location. Directly across the street from the Natural History Museum. Easy taxi access. Fairly short trip to LaGuardia.

“Superb service”

Was thoroughly impressed with this hotel. We arrived 2 hours before the official check-in time, expecting to leave our bags with the concierge until 3pm but because our rooms were ready we were checked in straight away with no fuss. The room was lovely and, apart from one of the lamps not working, was perfect. Very nice area and delightful staff. Would definitely go there again.

Area:

Central Park, New York, United States of America: Buildings crane above one another to claim views of Central Park, a piece of real estate valued at more than $528 billion. Surprises abound in its 843 acres. The grounds include a castle, a zoo, several lakes, and an Egyptian obelisk. A city that never sleeps needs its quiet time, too: Central Park has six designated “quiet zones,” including Strawberry Fields, the monument to John Lennon.
