    While our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel is in a great location, there were some issues with the "fine print" or the "resort costs" associated with this hotel. When brought to management's attention, the woman we spoke with was not at all customer service oriented and her attitude was less than professional. The gentleman we spoke to at check in and saw multiple times throughout our stay was very kind and professional. So, when booking and before paying, PLEASE take the time to read the fine print. We were 2 couples and booked 2 separate rooms, but for us both, only 1 breakfast voucher for each day was provided as part of the resort fees. There was a robe in the bathroom, but again, only one. One room was not provided with soap and was said to be a suite and was paid extra for, but it was not the room described when booking and paying for. The free Wi FI did not work the entire time, 1 elevator was out for a time, and the wine happy hour from 5-7pm offered 2 cheap wines, and nothing else for those who don't drink wine-all part of those obligatory "resort fees." The hotel did allow us to check our bags both before and after our check in/out times which was extremely helpful, and quite possibly could be worth these additional fees and charges to the room, but that's for each to decide ( but leaving our bags was not negotiated before our arrival and most NYC hotels will do this for no fee). The actual lobby is sparse, but they do have a nice lounge area to sit in on the second floor. They also have water refilling stations on room floors-not sure about all. Outside of the additional fine print charges, it is a very nice and comfortable place, but overall we would not recommend and will not be returning.

    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.

    Morning breakfast/treat

    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.

There were 2 different switches and it was confusing to figure out what controlled what. The staff were very friendly. They were able to get us into our room early and they let us check out late. They always greeted us when we got back to the hotel room throughout the day. Plenty of food options nearby. Would absolutely stay here next time we're in NYC.

    We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. Overall the hotel is decent -- our room was new and…read moreclean, though like pretty much every hotel in Manhattan, it's on the smaller side. One thing to note: the hotel sits right above a sports bar, so it can get noisy when there's a game on. The gym was a low point. The hotel shares its fitness facility with a Planet Fitness, which feels out of place for a mid-tier Marriott -- not quite what you'd expect from the brand.

    Prime location! Modern, spacious rooms (for the city)!…read more The elevators though.... Oy. I stayed at this hotel over the New Years holiday and was thrilled to be so close to Madison Square Garden and Times Square. As was expected, check in was a bit chaotic given the time of year. The ground floor entrance was PACKED with luggage on first arrival. After weaving our way through, we located the check-in desk on the 5th or 6th floor. Tons of people but adequate seating to wait for our room to be ready. An upper floor meant having to figure out their dreaded elevator system. It left something to be desired, to say the least. With only 3 elevators that service the whole of the hotel, and a 4th that goes who knows where, it was almost always a lengthy struggle to catch one. No buttons on the interior of the carriage, all elevators were called with a touchscreen device that seemingly tried to pack as many people as possible into one small space, leaving many behind that couldn't fit, before directing the passengers to another elevator to repeat the whole process over again. One day was so bad, it was actually preferable to walk up the stairs to the 14th floor. Woof. The room itself was wonderful. Spacious, with 2 beds. Very clean. Beautiful view of the city and the arena next door. Great way to catch the sun set. Walk in shower with both an overhead and handheld shower attachment. Great lighting. Shower had heavily frosted glass that faced the bedroom area so be prepared for your silhouette to be on full display for anyone you may be rooming with. Nice sized closet, safe, and mini fridge. Big flat screen television. Window shade worked very well to block out the light if you're hoping to sleep in late. Walls can be a bit thin, especially if you have a rowdy bunch of kids right next door as we did. Aside from the elevators, the perks far outweighed the usual peskier elements (e.g., noise,etc.) one encounters when staying away from home. Would stay here again, perhaps during a less busy time of year, if that's even possible.

    As a librarian, you know I had to stay here…read more I went in fully expecting a fun, book-themed hotel and secretly wondering if it might be a little gimmicky. I was so happy to be wrong. The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team. I arrived by car while the building was hidden behind scaffolding, and the front desk was incredibly kind and patient, helping guide me to the loading area so I didn't spend my afternoon circling the block. Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem. Not a second of lag. The TV also had a ton of premium channels, which was such a fun surprise after long days exploring the city. And finally, a standing ovation for the real MVP: the air conditioning. New York was basically a sauna while I was there, and every time I walked back into my room I was greeted by the most glorious arctic blast. It was so good that my friends ended up wanting to hang out in my room and order dinner instead of going back out into the heat. Perfect stay from beginning to end. I can't wait to come back.

    I was excited to stay here anyway, because of course it was on my bucket list, but the stay was so…read morequiet and lovely that I am blown away. I got a petite room since I was traveling alone which I would not recommend for a couple, but for me it was perfect. The bathroom area was the best part and not at all an afterthought. They knew women would be coming and they nailed it, down to the magnifying mirror. Whenever you get to spend time with other book lovers, it's a plus, so I also very much loved being able to talk to people in the common room on the 2nd floor. Often times NYC misses this in their hotels. The books here aren't anything you really want to read so bring your own books but all in all 5+ stars for me!

Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
