    Mini bar snacks

    This is the second time staying here and I absolutely love it! The location is fantastic just far away from the madness of time square but close enough to hit all the tourist spots and Central Park. The hotel rooms are very spacious and the staff is always so helpful. I will be staying here again!

    broken thermostat that only stays at 25 celsius

    Disorganized hotel. Find somewhere else to stay. I came to this hotel twice. Once for business trip for a night, the other time for a complimentary free night. On my business trip, everything was normal until one day. The housekeeper came in without permission when placed the do not disturb sign on the door. When I got back, room was somewhat tidied. I knew someone came in as the bed was made poor, towels were missing, and my clothes were moved. I mentioned to staff about my dissatisfaction during my stay and they passed the note to their manager, Abel. Abel didn't reach out to me before my leave, so I asked the staff to provide his contact info. In the end he offered a gift certificate for a free night. I had to call in to redeem the free night. Abel wasn't available and I was told only Abel could set up the booking with gift certificates. I contacted him via email but no reply. I waited a week to call again and a staff was able to set it up for me. For my final stay on Jan 6, it was for one night. I couldn't imagine anything could go wrong. I checked in early to drop off my belongings and returned late at night. When I returned, I realized the thermostat wasn't functioning properly and the garbage bin was full (presumably from the last guest). I didn't bother to deal with it as it was late at night. I told the staff the following morning when I checked out. They said a manager will reach out to me to address the issue but none did.

    Complimentary $25 breakfast

    Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the hotel itself, only the cute Cognac eatery attached. My stay at the hotel was pleasant, aside from the room being set at 75 degrees for the duration of my stay (no need for the duvet HA) The room itself was clean and had a microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. Complimentary water bottles or bottles for purchase (sparkling or still) My only issue was the carpet in the rooms..... They have some sort of weird film/ feel to them. Maybe it's just me, but I recommend bringing a pair of socks.

    Nice hotel. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Room is clean. I upgraded my 5 night stay to an Executive King Salon room for the extra space and glad I did. Perfect for 1 person, could handle 2 people if you don't mind being cozy. Loved the bathroom. A nice, quiet respite. The negatives aren't too bad. Sometimes you have to ask for things as housekeeping may forget to give you coffee supplies or a breakfast menu. The menu is important in order to have a little breakfast delivered to your room in the morning. You pick the time, the little something and a drink. Leave your choices on your door the night before. No safe in my room nor a luggage rack. I ended up using a side table to put my luggage on. Great natural light, but I wish there was more lights in the room when it was later. Two of my lights didn't work at all. You may also have to play with the curtains if they don't close all the way. One evening I did go to the reception but nothing was happening - no drinks or snacks - so I never went again. I liked the mini fridge and microwave in the room. Used the coffee maker. Weird that there were no glasses, silverware or plates, though there is room for them. Location is nice. Near Grand Central, a bus line to Times Square and other attractions. This is a quiet area near major businesses and other hotels. The Lexington and Intercontinental across the street. Not sure if I would stay here again, but I had a pleasant time and the price was right. And room was a good size by New York standards without the high price.

    Location was perfect . It's Very convenient. There is a small kitchen in a room and so many good restaurants around the hotel . It was a great experience there .

    Wine hour!

    Had a staycation here for a friend's birthday. It was the perfect spot for us to have a low-key celebration (pre-Covid). Right from the beginning the staff were very welcoming - we even got an arrival cocktail at reception. The festivities continued as upon arrival to the room we found a complimentary bottle of bubbles for my friend's bday. We also enjoyed the hotel's wine and cheese hour (free!) and mixed with some other guests. Our room had a large balcony, a nice lounge area and a separate bedroom. Large by nyc standards. To finish off the great stay, we had a lovely breakfast in the morning. Lots of choice for all tastes. Would happily stay again and recommend to visitors to the city!

    Stay-cation!

    I have to give Destiny at the front desk a shout out, thank you for the bottle of wine that you sent to our room for my wifes birthday! Walking into the lobby and making a left to the small front desk was a quick transaction. We checked in, was given keys and said breakfast on the 2nd floor opens early. Enjoy your stay! And we sure did! The Nespresso coffee maker in the room was a nice touch as well as the large bathroom and king size bed. This hotel is also located in a nice area and another bonus is the subway, which is not too far away. We went to dinner in the Flatiron district, saw a Broadway show and since it was a nice night, we walked back across town to the hotel. The next morning, we woke up and went downstairs for a nice continental breakfast. The 2nd floor is is a large, private and welcoming space. It's a quiet place to start your day. If you're looking for eggs, there are hard boiled eggs available. Our only issue, it took a while for the hot water to get hot. The shower and the shower fixtures are new, I guess they need to work on replacing the hot water heater. Hotel 48LEX, we enjoyed our stay and loved the close proximity to the subways and Central Park.

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

The restaurant Jams on the first floor is also great, and nice to be able to have a delicious meal right at the hotel. Excellent food and coffee - we went for both breakfast and dinner here. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff helped make the stay feel special. The front desk and door staff were consistently helpful and welcoming. Our rooms were excellent, with a great view, comfortable beds, and a lot of thoughtful sustainability features. I especially liked that all of the water in the hotel is filtered. I did not use the fitness center on the second floor, but I looked great. The location is phenomenal, just steps from Central Park. With our kids, we were able to easily get to the Central Park Zoo, Heckscher Playground, and the Billy Johnson Playground, and my wife and I were also able to walk to a Broadway show in the evening. It was a great hotel for a family trip, and we hope to be back for our next NYC trip!

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete. Other than those complaints, everything else in the room was perfectly acceptable, and for a one night stay, it did the job.
