Hyatt Grand Central New York
The room was very very dirty. There’s dust and trash everywhere. Just beware it’s dirty. Found a bandaid stuck on the wall on top of the headboard and many other just unsanitary things around the room. Wish I could get a refund. Staff is okay but dont stay here.

The room was clean and spacious considering most hotels are closet spaces. The elevators took forever between the 3 of them and 40+ floors…the wait was crazy.
