Anyone stayed at the St. Moritz in NYC?
 

Has anyone stayed at the St. Moritz in NYC? <BR>Is it an ok place especially with kids?

Yes. The location is great (Central Park South near 7th Avenue). <BR> <BR>The hotel closed briefly about five months ago when it was purchased by some group that planned to strip the St. Moritz back to its skeleton and re-christen it as super-luxury coops. The plan fell through at the last minute, and the hotel was purchased and re-opened in, I think, late May. Because all bookings has been cancelled when the hotel closed (the furnishings were within a day of being auctioned off), the St. Moritz offered some excellent rates for a while. That has probably changed. <BR> <BR>But the hotel has always been nice. It is probably a little frayed around the edges, given that it was in limbo for so long. I'd have no hesitation about staying there, especially with kids. <BR>

I agree with the above - great location. I only stayed there once, but the rooms were really dissapointing - very small (even for NYC standards) and dated.

I stayed there last Nov. The rooms are very small and VERY dated - they tend to cater to Europeans. I stayed one night and checked out. I really thought it was terrible. If you are only concerned about location and price then it's OK. I would not go back - especially with children.

Agree with others. Shockingly small rooms, lousy service..too dear. Loved the Salisbury just around the corner. <BR>Great breakfasts,almost opposite Planet Hollywood,Carnegie Hall and next to subway

Thank you so much to everyone who responded!
