I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were a bit dim and could use ceiling lights to brighten them up, but they were facing the street and very inviting, especially considering the affordable prices for New York City. The service was top-notch, the staff at the front desk and housekeeping were excellent, friendly, and provided great tips on local attractions and dining options. The location was superb with convenient amenities nearby, like dry cleaning services across the street and plenty of shopping and dining choices. The dining experience was decent, offering a variety of items, including coffee, pastries, and fresh fruits. Overall, a great value for money in a fancy location.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were great, spacious enough for my wife and me, with a nice kitchen and easy access to Grand Central. However, the back building view was not ideal, and the lack of natural light was a downside. The service was extremely helpful, although a bit inexperienced. The location was excellent, within walking distance to everything I needed. The dining options were just enough for a quick bite, nothing extravagant.

Staying at AKA UN was a total win-win. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer great space, making it feel like a home away from home. Although it's tucked away from the main road, the central location is unbeatable with markets and restaurants all around. The service was excellent, with extremely friendly and helpful staff always ready with recommendations. The only downside was the see-through curtain that made it challenging to sleep in after sunrise.

The hotel rooms were sizable, clean, and stylish, although faced the inconvenience of workers overlooking the room from an adjacent office building with limited natural light. Despite not living up to the promise of 'spectacular' views, the space provided was immense, akin to a home condo, impressively spacious for a New York City hotel. The service was consistently friendly and helpful, especially notable for being attentive to guests' needs, including accommodating a baby. The location offered convenience with various nearby amenities, although hindered by see-through curtains impacting sleep quality early morning. Dining options were satisfactory for quick bites, with a selection of typical breakfast items. The facilities provided a comfortable stay, enhancing the overall experience.

The hotel rooms were exactly as nice as pictured on the website, spacious, and spotless with everything you could want. However, the views were not as spectacular as expected. The service was excellent, with staff who were always kind, attentive, and accommodating. The location was perfect with markets and restaurants all around, but it required a stay of 30 days or more. The dining experience was simple, offering basic items like coffee, tea, and pastries. Overall, the facilities were very nice and efficient, making for a pleasant stay.

My stay at this hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spotless and well-equipped with a comfortable bedroom and lounge, making it a lot more inviting than other options I've seen. The prices were quite reasonable. The service was top-notch, with a brand-new feel after recent renovations and incredibly helpful staff who were understanding of my budget and provided great tips on local attractions and amenities. The location was superb, just a 5-minute walk from Grand Central, offering convenience for both short-term tourists and long-term guests like myself on assignment in NYC from the UK. The dining options were just enough for a quick bite but could use some improvement in variety. The facilities were up to par, with nothing significant to complain about.
