Excellence in NY
Lovely overnight stay to explore the city. Decor is very art deco and gorgeous. Rooftop bar was lovely. My only complaint would be the hallway lighting being poor. It was quite dark and made it hard to find the slot for the room key

Pamela, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was good. The hotel was very dated but the employees gave top tier hospitality. The hotel was also super convenient to everything we needed for the weekend.
Tiffany, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for Lincoln Center activities
Right next to Lincoln Center, clean and neat, friendly staff. Good value.
Chien-Hung, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bathrooms small, but staff and location are great!
The location is great and the staff was very friendly. I would only stay here again for the location. The bathrooms need to be remodeled. They are very small and leave barely any room for counter space. The beds were fine, but clearly older since they didn't feel very comfortable. At the end of the day, it was worth the location and friendly staff.
Angela, 5-night trip

Need to go outside around corner in the rain to get coffee breakfast or anything NYC prices and surcharges

Key failure
The best part of the hotel is the lobby. Everything was great except my key failed almost every time I went to enter my room. I found this very annoying, expressed this to the staff, they made me a new key every time but did nothing else to make up for it.
View from the Starbucks next to the hotel. On the left is Lincoln Center.
Samantha, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beyond what we expected or deserved
We had a last minute trip and didn't expect much. This hotel exceeded all of our expectations. Reasonable price and excellent accommodations. Literally across the street from Lincoln Center.
Louise, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dated, but great location
The hotel is very dated, and had ongoing issued with my key card and getting into the room. However, price vs location wins this place a couple of stars. It could be massively improved with a lick of paint.
Samuel, 1-night trip

Graf Review
The only drawback was that we could not open the blinds. So... no daylight
Werner, 1-night trip

Would not stay here again
this was my second day at this property. The first day was not great, but I was told that they’re updating the hotel. So I gave it a second chance. It was no better three months later.
