“From what I've gathered, this property carries the distinction of a grand dame, dating back to 1926, now blending historic Federalist style with modern luxuries in its rooms. Its prime Midtown location places guests steps away from Rockefeller Center and Times Square, plus the added perks of Club InterContinental access and generous event spaces enhance its appeal for both business and leisure. The friendly concierge, coupled with its pet-friendly policy and central location, makes it a solid choice for those wanting to be in the heart of the action.”

underwhelming experience

great locationnoise insulationdismissive attitude
the location was acceptable, allowing easy travel throughout the city.
The noise insulation was terrible. I heard conversations from neighboring rooms. one night, a baby cried incessantly, disrupting my sleep. The staff offered no real solution. ralph's dismissive attitude, with comments like 'babies do cry! ', was unprofessional, and a proposed room change at 4 am was impractical.
