8.0 Very good
Pros:The Location was great. The hotel staff was great. The pool was comfortable.
Cons:The only complaint is the valet staff was horrible. Rude, won’t smile or mutter anything when you ask questions. I made the front desk give me change in the hotel to tip the valet. Didn’t end up tipping the valet at all.

7.7 Good
Pros:Location for Lincoln Center was great. A few blocks of walking. Access to the hotel by car was right off of Henry Hudson to 57th st. We didn't have to make a turn on a city street. Valet parking was reasonable with validation ($25 a day)
Cons:We were the first room next to the elevators and there were some children on the floor. We learned that the doors and walls let in a lot of noise.

7.1 Good
Pros:I got a decently good price for a hotel room in that area. The room was spacious for a petite queen. Nice view from the room.
Cons:- Staff “accidently” charged my card $150 security deposit. - Bed was clumpy and hard but linens were soft. - No powdered milk or sugar for coffee. - Shower was ice cold and would only get “warm” when you put it on the hand written “H” that someone drew in with sharpie. - Towels had hidden brown stains. - TV wouldn’t show information so couldn’t surf channels easily. - Walls are thin and doors slam loudly, neighbors were very loud until 5AM.
