Had a great weekend with my family in NYC! The front desk was exceptional! From both front desk girls --especially Sherry (thanks Sherry!) and David! Sherry was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgable! She was always patient and helpful! David was also helpful and considerate! We were running late back to the hotel for a delivery and I was able to speak to David, who was very assuring that it wasn't a problem until we were able to get back! So great! Took alot of stress off of us rushing back. Overall, enjoyed experience and look forward to coming back to NYC. Thank you! 😊 Read less

We have just returned from a 4-night stay with 2 adults and 2 kids (9 and 11). The location is brilliant, as you are fairly central with access nearby to a subway station. We travelled here by taxi from the airport $80 and then return by car organised by the hotel for $100. It would be simple to get from JFK via underground to Jamaica and then from Jamaica to Lexington Ave 53, which is close to the hotel. Warning - if travelling later afternoon to JFK, allow 2 hours to get there, we were advised an hour and it cut it fine. The rooms are a great size and the beds are really comfortable. We were at the front of the hotel and it was noisy late at night and early in the morning, but we expected this in a big city… and there were ear plugs in the bedroom drawer, which helped. The kitchenette is a great amenity and you are provided with tea bags and coffee pods. There is a microwave oven, kettle, 2 gas hobs, plus crockery and cutlery. There are a few shops nearby where you can buy food - we ate out for most meals, but bought stuff in the room for breakfast. The service charge of $39 per night includes $10 a day for snacks from the snack bar - it’s enough to get you a drink and snack. We didn’t use the lounge, so can’t comment on this. I’d certainly return, as this was a great base to explore the city. Read less
