Hotels Near The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

Amazing hotel with great views of Central Park. Our room was spectacular. As a Titanium Elite Member we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom Park Avenue Suite. It was absolutely stunning. The bed was comfortable and so was the living room area. So happy we decided to stay here! I was a little dissappointed as I called/emailed months ahead of time to see if there was anything that they could do complimentary for my husbands 50th birthday (cake, fruit, anything...etc...) and was told they would do something, but they didn't.

You can see the sunrise at Central Park at dawn. You can see the lines of the surrounding luxury hotels. Jean-Georgeus Michelin restaurant is not so great. The food is too salty. It is a casual restaurant. It is a private room, but it is too noisy from outside noise. Just stay at the hotel.

Just had another great stay (from start to finish) at the wonderful St. Regis New York. From the bellmen, to the front office staff, to the butler and housekeeping staff, to the incredible service in the King Cole Bar our stay was top notch. There are so many high end choices in the best city in the world, and you can truly never go wrong with the St. Regis. Can’t wait for our next trip back soon.

I just stayed at the Motto in Times Square for the weekend, and had a great experience. First, let me say that I was born and raised in NYC (I live about 30 miles north of NYC now), so I know the NYC area very well, and it was such a joy to experience the city as a ”tourist” for the weekend. The hotel is in a great location near Times Square, where access to public transportation is very easy, as well as to restaurants, and Broadway shows. The hotel is very efficient and modern. The rooms are cozy, and very comfortable. The service is excellent, and the breakfast menu is delicious. I very much enjoyed my stay at the Motto in Times Square.

The first thing I will mention is that the hotel is 5 star and is expectedly, very expensive, being in the heart of Times Square. I took this into account when writing my review. If I am paying that much, my expectations would be higher than normal. I stayed for 12 nights over the Christmas and NY period so I obtained a very comprehensive view of the hotel and everything about it. Overall it was a very comfortable stay and the staff were always there to attend to any requests and issues. The moment I got out of my transfer car, there was a lovely young gentleman waiting to get all my bags and transport me upstairs to the reception. The check-in was reasonably flawless but there was a bit of confusion around the payment because of resort fees the hotel charges daily. I prepaid my booking and there was confusion over whether it included or excluded the resort fee. The reception area is immaculately presented and the bar and restaurant are both located here. I intended to use the gym during my stay, but didn't have time to even take a peek. Nor did I visit the bar or restaurant. There's way too many options outside to do that. The very polite and courteous young gentleman then took me up to my room. He showed me everything and away he went. I got a bit of a room upgrade which I highly appreciated and had a beautiful view of Times Square. I was on the 2nd highest floor, floor 39. The room is not big. It was adequate for one person but nothing more. I don't think I would be able to stay here if I was with another person. It would be too uncomfortable and I had to find space for my 2 suitcases and carry-on. The bathroom is open plan, with a door for the shower and toilet. A big problem I had in my room was that if it was windy you will hear a loud whistle coming through the bottom of the front door. It really annoyed me. I had to take the cover off the bed and make a snake shape to block the gap underneath the door to stop the noise. Even a bath towel didn't work. They need to fix this. The hotel is very new and the rooms are very beautifully equipped, presented and maintained. I was pleased to see that most of the things I requested before I arrived (some extra bath mats, bath towels, hand towels, face towels, mini fridge, bathroom scale) were mostly there upon arrival. I quantified the number of towels I needed as I was not getting any housekeeping during my 12 night stay but I did not get the quantity requested. I expected a bit more attention to detail for a 5 star hotel. Before I arrived I was asked if I was celebrating a special occasion and Guest Services pushed up my expectations as I was celebrating a special occassion and they said something nice, I assume maybe a cake or some alcohol would be waiting for me in the room. When I arrived there was nothing. And there was never going to be anything throughout my stay. I didn't mind and only remembered towards the end of the stay. When I enquired via email I was met with silence. They

Location, hotel is good. Just the service not good in this hotel. The front desk staff not really friendly and no smile. The ground floor bodyguard is friendly and helpful. Was second time to stay in this hotel but same problem to extra charge by my credit card. Need to be careful.

We always stay at Marriott, although I rarely use my Bonvoy membership. I always book our hotel through trip.com. The fridge had a bottle of Coke that had been drank by the previous guest. The hair dryer bag is dusty. Everything else looks good. They provide free water during check-in and a raincoat in case of rain. The breakfast seems decent for the price.

I can't credit the staff at the hotel enough. I arrived quite early in the morning and had actually at a bag stolen on the way to the hotel with some quite important t things in their. The staff were great and managed to get me a room early so I could try and sort out what to do. So amazingly helpful. The room was quite clean although as it was a rush I didn't receive much information about hotel facilities etc. The morning breakfast was a great had quite a wide variety of options, the location of the hotel is really good for time square as well as travel via the metro as most of the main lines for sight seeing and the airport are very close by.

The reception staff is very cooperative and available 24/7. The local NY tour guideline desk person is very good as he guides us perfectly and shows us the best approach for reaching the destination. The cleaning staff is also good and keeps our room clean and hygienic.

We stayed ten nights at the Freeband Hotel over the summer. The building is beautiful. Location is great. The staff is friendly and helpful. Seamless check in and check out experience. We booked directly through their website and got an early bird deal. It worked out at €200 ish a night, tax included. Good value for money. We weren’t fazed by the small size of our room. It did however have direct vis-à-vis with other rooms; meaning we had to leave our blinds closed at all times. Not much natural light left in an already dimly lit room. Our bed was comfortable. We didn’t have too much noise on our floor despite our room being next to the elevators. We really enjoyed their rooftop bar “broken shaker”. Lovely drinks and food menu. Beautiful views of the city. We did feel the hotel lacked certain amenities. Our bathroom had quite a few cracked tiles. We found housekeeping hit and miss. There were daily elevator issues. Housekeeping didn’t come clean our room two days in a row, the towels had holes and on 25th July we had no hot water to shower. We shared our experience with Brandon at the front desk. He was empathetic and helpful. He immediately offered an upgrade for our troubles. We declined as we didn’t feel it was necessary. When we got back to our room on that day, we had extra fresh towels, two breakfast vouchers, chocolate bars and a bottle of wine. Very thoughtful of them. All in all, we enjoyed our experience. We feel we got what we paid for.
