Mubboo Verdict
For couples and families wanting spacious suite layouts and iconic skyline views, but not for those seeking modern updates.
Insider tip: Despite Travelers Choice awards, recent guests note the property feels dated, with weak air conditioning and slow elevators. The real draws are the spacious suites with Empire State Building views and a notably helpful bell staff.

Verbatim excerpts from TripAdvisor reviews.
“I came to NYC for a quick getaway with some friends! From the beginning of my stay everything was perfect, starting with the bellman's service, David was excellent and available to assist with the luggages up to the room. We got an amazing room with an amazing view as well as the beds, OMG they were huge!”
“The hotel has a good location but I would definitely choose other options in the future. The rooms are dated, the AC in the rooms is weak, the hallways and elevates are hot, the elevators are slow and crowded, and the bathrooms can be really small. It’s not pricey but it’s not a good value given the rooms.”
“We stayed in a 1 Bedroom Empire Suite, the views were great, Empire State Building straight out both windows. The room was spacious, the pull out bed was very comfy and the kingsize bed in the main bedroom was so comfy.”
