This was a great location. It was close to public transportation and walking distance to many great locations. The room was large and inviting and the doormen were great with recommendations. It would be nice to have a lounge or restaurant on site, but there places in close proximity.

We would easily make this our choice for future stays in NYC. It is within walking distance of the East River, MoMA, and many more cultural/historical sights. Plus, there is a great little restaurant two doors down that is PERFECT for breakfast.
