    Very steep steps to get in …small non existent lobby…..garish if not hideous wall paper… Balcony on 8th floor was large but unusable due to filthy table and chair

    This property is in a great location just south of Columbus circle…walkable to Central Park,carmigie hall and museums on 5th Ave . Room on top floor was spacious and had a huge balcony…but it was dirty so didn’t partake.

    Little space for the clothes, noice AC in the room. All the time we went to breakfast the they were out of pastries, just coffee.

    Amazing location, 10 minutes by foot from Time Square, big rooms, kind staff!

    Very dark room. A/C went out and they solved the issue by installing a window unit that, while solving the temperature issue, was VERY loud.

    Good location, easy to find, nice staff.

    Breakfast was from 7 to 9, but there wasn't much when we arrive at 7.15am. Until 8, a guy brought some pastries and some other things. After hangin around for a long time, we managed to eat enough breakfast to get us through the day. There was some fruit, yoghurt, cereals coffee and pastries, but only a few and when brought in they were scouped up immediately by the people waiting. This should be much better organised. Given the fairly ridiculous price (it is Manhattan, we get it) we paid for the hotel, a decent breakfast would be appreciated. We also did not like the view. We had one window overlooking at a brick wall. Oh yeah, they should fire the guy who picked the wallpaper in the hallways.

    it wat at 55th street right between Central Park and Times Square (walkable). It was clean, but fairly simple.

    The woman working the front desk during the day...never saw a smile, she voiced the general greetings... But when we asked her if a room was available to stay a 3rd night (8/14), she took a long time checking and then stated no rooms were available... However, when we checked Booking.com, it showed 2 rooms were available. Maybe she didn't know what she was checking, maybe she just didn't want our money, we'll never know... We moved to a different hotel. When we double checked Booking.com on the night of 8/14 for the Moderne it still showed two rooms available. I guess she just didn't want to make money and kept the rooms vacant.

    Jerry was fantastic! He was a great help with excellent advice about the city, and so very friendly! The room, the bed, the hot water in the shower, and the hotel itself were excellent. The view was also great! And there is an excellent parking garage right next door.

    Our room had one window that faced a wall, impossible to open or get any light in. It was depressing. Also, the AC was very loud and blowing right onto the bed. We had to turn it off at night to be able to sleep, which made the room very hot. Also, the breakfast was muffins and apples, no variety.

    The location was good and the room was fairly clean

    I believe that there were renovations going on, and some parts of our room showed wear. Other than that, I have no complaints, observations or comments.

    Fantastic staff. Helpful, happy, professional. Our location was very convenient and our room size was outstanding for NYC. I liked the lounge as well.

    There was construction going on. It started at 7 o’clock in the morning. Internal room had one small window and it faced a brick wall about a foot away, so it always seemed like it was nighttime a foot away so it always seemed like it was night. Free breakfast was nonexistent. They put out a few scones and supposedly some fresh fruit but even if you got there at 8 o’clock in the morning there was none left and didn’t refill it. The doors are very loud so every time your neighbor let’s go over the door. It slams and wakes you up all night long and it’s New York and people are coming in at all times of the night. The photos of the carpet are where it’s not worn underneath the desk and what it looks like right next to the bed it was very dirty.

    Some of the staff was very helpful and friendly some of the staff not so much

    While my stay was manageable, there are several areas that could be improved. The room cleanliness did not meet expectations—both the sheets and carpets required more thorough attention. Additionally, room service was only available upon request, which was inconvenient. I was also surprised to find staff utilizing the only guest lounge for their breaks; providing a dedicated staff lounge would ensure guests have uninterrupted access to common areas. For the price point, I anticipated better amenities—particularly a more complete breakfast experience, as the complimentary offering felt awkward for someone like me who prefers a quieter, less crowded setting. Finally, I was unexpectedly awakened at 7 a.m. by loud banging noises, accompanied by a strong smell of burning metal through the air conditioning. These issues collectively impacted the overall quality of my stay.

    Location, and the staff were very friendly.

    Slow elevators but realize an older building. There was continental breakfast advertised but no food except a couple tiny muffins. Disappointed. Good coffee. Lots of construction, so outside doesn't look like much.

    The location was near many things to see and do but as lso fairly quiet. Nice close market for food, snacks, sundries. Lots of restaurants within one block. The staff were outstanding. Helpful, nice, funny. Made our visit special .The room size was great. Parking right by hotel.

    Scaffolding was covering the property so you couldn’t open the blinds. Furnishings were a little tired and dated. Air conditioning was very noisy.

    Location was great for walking to all the sights. It was also quiet and away from the main bustle. Comfy beds, specious rooms. Grab and go breakfast was a great bonus as was 24hr tea/coffee and water bottles replaced daily.
