Good hotel with great location *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AThe hotel seemed quite plain on the exterior. But if you walk into the lobby looks the whole different. All in marble and decorated with huge chandeliers. The check-in and check-out was easy and the staff was also very nice and helpful. Certainly you could see the age (in some places about 40 Years of age) on. But for New York standards makes it better hotels.
Location
Doesn't get much better! Right on the southern edge of Central Park area, within a few minutes walk to Time Square. A subway station is right next to the hotel (5 Ave. & 59th Street) from JFK Airport is approximately 45 minutes with the subway at the hotel for about $15 US. Taxi costs about $50 .
The staff was always friendly and helpful, if you had questions or problems.
Gastronomy Unused
Restaurant and bar are available. Far too expensive, breakfast costs at least $25 . per person.
Sport & Entertainment Unused
Gym is available in the basement.
Room
Our room (#3006) was on the 30th floor with view of the city, was big enough and well equipped. For New York standards you can say nothing. The color of the room was overwhelming in the first moment but you get used to it. Room has a large bed (1,4m wide) a large commode with minibar (beware!!!) a work desk and a small sitting area. The bathroom was large enough with bathtub. The room itself was clean anyway there was always some dust available the whole room with carpet, where the dust but better than on tiles. Still one could not complain about. Every morning we had at the door the latest edition hang the complimentary New York Times.
Tips and recommendations
We have our breakfast always at the Green cafe, a nice little café directly behind the hotel in the 58th street. Here, you could get everything you need, from sweet to savory for little money and fresh. The people are nice and it will also many locals were there food which suits us convince us that we were not go wrong. In the 6 Ave. Corner 58th St. There is a grocery shop "Well Green Market" where you can have also everything you need, a bit further there is a big supermarket with pharmacy "Duane swimming pool there is an outdoor pool on". If you want to check your e-mail only go out of the hotel and go to the Apple shop the just 3 minutes away is on the 5. Ave. The internet in the hotel costs per day $9.95 .
