Mubboo Verdict
Historic Central Park hotel with excellent service, but inconsistent sleep quality and high rates.
Insider tip: Reviews reveal a split: guests who get a park-view room rave, while those in back rooms face noise from garbage trucks—room assignment is critical.

★ Real traveler reviews
Verbatim excerpts from TripAdvisor reviews.
“Terrible hard lumpy old mattress. Yes, the lobby is pretty and historic. You will think it’s luxury but…. That awful bed. Meanwhile a $27 bottom of the barrel Manhattan. Total Yuck. Marriott Group never fails to astound at their poor value. $589 per night. Three nights. We should have moved.”
“I have just checked out after spending a few days at Essex House for a long weekend. I strongly recommend staying at the hotel. The hotel is at a great location overlooking Central Park with phenomenal views as you wake up every morning. In addition, to a great location the staff are incredible.”
“What a stunning and classy hotel. We were met with a friendly greeting and we were really happy with the accommodations, the club lounge(although we did wish the had at least cocktail hour Fri:sat) the breakfast was everything you could want. The elevators moved quickly, it's a large hotel and we never waited for even a solid minute.”
“It is 3 am in the morning. I came to the Essex House for respite as there was a fire in my UWS building and I needed a good nights sleep. We used 126000 points and Tim gave me a room in the back where garbage trucks woke me up intermittently every hour, 1 am, 2 am and now -”
