Fodor's Review:

This property prides itself on selling a great night's sleep. Guests consult with the "sleep concierge" to select from 13 styles of pillows (most popular: Swedish memory), white-noise machines, and other sleep aids before they hop into plush, 400-thread-count bedding. Beyond a superb slumber, many Fodorites stay at the property for its "excellent service" and "great location" across the street from the 6-line subway, one stop from Grand Central Terminal. Although the hotel caters largely to a business clientele, it is a popular choice for travelers with kids and teens, as most of the rooms are suites, primarily studio layouts of about 300 square feet and 1-br. suites of about 550 square feet. Pros: spacious by Manhattan standards; suites have kitchenette with microwave; personalized service. Cons: paid Internet and WiFi.
