Old-school 'classic New York' hospitality and doormen
Ringkasan Cepat: It feels like staying in your wealthy great-aunt's rent-controlled Upper East Side apartment—dated decor, but unbeatable space and comfort.
Ditinjau oleh @jillsfoodtravels: I checked into the 29th floor and was floored by the private balcony—it’s so rare in NYC! Watching the sunset and seeing the city light up from my own terrace was magical. The room felt huge, like a real apartment. Definitely my new go-to spot.

The hype
Travelers are consistently shocked by the sheer size of the rooms and the impeccable cleanliness.
Reality check
The decor is undeniably stuck in the 90s—think gold chandeliers, heavy drapes, and antique-style furniture that some find charming and others find musty.
You need a kitchenette and separate living area for a family trip
You crave fresh air and want a private balcony to drink your morning coffee
You prefer a quiet, residential Midtown East vibe over the chaos of Times Square
Kebersihan & Pemeliharaan
9
Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough and consistent. Guests frequently use words like 'immaculate' and 'super clean'.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Marble surfaces are well-maintained, though some grout lines show the building's age.
Maintenance: Generally good, though you might find the occasional scuffed antique chair or slow drain.
Linens & towels: Top-tier. Frette linens and down comforters feel crisp and expensive.
Odors & scents: Neutral and fresh. No masking scents, just clean air (unless you open the balcony to street exhaust).

FAQ & Tips Tersembunyi
Semua yang perlu Anda ketahui sebelum memesan.

Tips Insider
✨
The 'Upstairs' rooftop serves a great breakfast that is often quieter than the evening bar scene.
✨
Request a room ending in '04' or '05' for potentially better layouts and views (subject to availability).
✨
The lobby has a massive 2,000-gallon saltwater aquarium that is a hit with kids.
5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The elevators can be surprisingly fast, a rarity for older NYC buildings.
💡The 'kitchenette' often includes a dishwasher, which is wild for a hotel room.
💡You might spot a diplomat or UN official in the lobby due to the proximity to the United Nations.
💡The furniture is heavy and antique—don't expect IKEA minimalism here.
💡The bath amenities are often high-end (L'Occitane or similar), a nice touch for the price point.
