    The bathroom was a bit small and the street noise could get really loud in the room. I think it was overpriced, though.

    Beautiful lighting in the room, nice toiletries, overall nice staff, very comfortable room and nice design. Glass door on the shower is a major plus.

    The plumbing and air conditioning was a bit loud. But I only really heard it the first night.

    First, I love most Kimpton’s. The amenities and small details are usually wonderful. This location the amenities were excellent. . I utilized the free bicycles for a ride in Central Park. Enjoyed the social hour and took advantage of the free coffee in the morning, which was delicious and a huge saving of $30 for the trip since coffee nearby was $5 a cup! The bed was amazing and the room very good sized for NYC! The staff is knowledgeable about the city and happy to help you. We especially enjoyed meeting Davon at the front desk who made us feel very welcome and exceeded our expectations!

    Location right next to NYFD and the street kind of busy even at night, lots of loud noises, but it’s nearby the Times Square

    The fresh new design of the room, complete amenities in bathroom, comfortable room

    I felt the staff didn’t go above and beyond. When I asked questions they seemed annoyed, put out, or frustrated. It happened with various staff members. It also took a very long time to clean the room. We left the room at 8:30 am and when we came back at 2:00 it still wasn’t made. I also didn’t like that the staff made us give half a tip for baggage storage up front. That’s never been done in any IHG or NYC hotel I’ve stayed in.

    Large rooms, fairly quiet and comfortable beds. The 5 pm social is a nice touch as is the flavored water.

    Beautifully appointed bathrooms but on the small size. This was a minor thing in what was a fabulous hotel.

    Gorgeous new hotel with lovely lobby for a morning coffee or an afternoon wine. Location right in the heart of the theatre district and only a few blocks away from Times Square. Subway lines almost on the doorstep and many of the top attractions within walking distance. Beautiful spacious and modern rooms and loved the fact the double rooms had two Queen size beds. Water dispenser on each floor meant we weren’t paying a fortune in bottled water daily. Supermarket/deli a few doors up was handy for supplies.

    Received a text message saying please text us with any questions. I texted the next day about the TV settings. They’re set on live HD mode and the movies look like live shows. No one replied back to my text message so I don’t believe that number you give is looked at by anyone Or they simply ignored my text message.
