Located in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood on 39th Street between Lexington and 3rd Avenues, this 3-star New York City hotel features air-conditioned rooms equipped with work desks, cable TVs, and laptop-compatible safes. The property includes three distinct social spaces: an upscale Mexican restaurant called Empellón serving tacos and bar snacks, a rooftop lounge with architectural details and city views, and the Playroom social area. A 24-hour front desk assists guests, while the Lobby Lounge & Bar provides daily food and cocktails. The property sits a 5-minute walk from Grand Central Station and within walking distance of Fifth Avenue shopping and Times Square. Each private bathroom comes with rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries.

Pros
Landmarked brick architecture creates a unique rooftop atmosphere with panoramic views
Three distinct social spaces ideal for dining, drinks and networking
Central Murray Hill location provides easy access to sports bars and restaurants
Complimentary newspapers and computer station available for business travelers
Cons
9.5 miles distance from LaGuardia Airport
Limited fitness options with only discounted access to off-site facility
“This Midtown Manhattan option emphasizes value, and it shows in its efficient, compact design. The rooftop bar stands out, offering impressive skyline views and a social atmosphere, while interiors prioritize functionality. I think it's a savvy pick for budget-conscious travelers who value location above sprawling space.”

The location is very convenient, especially for accessing Grand Central Station and the subway. This made getting around simple. The staff were helpful and friendly. I found free coffee in the morning to be a nice perk.
