Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Rare private balconies in many rooms (floors 10+)
- Spacious suites with kitchenettes and wet bars
- 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.

- 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

- 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).
