Thumbs UP!
Located just two blocks from Grand Central Station this hotel makes for a perfect place to rest your head after a long day touring the city. The staff was extremely helpful in room accomodations (at first they placed us in a smoking room when we had requestede non - when we pointed out the error the next day they were quick to apologize and change our room). The doorman offered excellent service in retreiving luggage and cabs (and then fitting all our luggage in the cab!!) They have a complimentary wine hour each night and they were certain to keep our glasses full. In the lobby there are three computers w/ internet access that guests may use free of charge. They also place complimentary apples in the lobby - YUM! The hotel offers a great restaurant and bar w/ delicious drinks and very friendly stafff (the restaurant menu looked good -although room service a bit on the spendy side). From the hotel you can easily walk to Times Square where you are certain to find many eateries and lots of entertainment. I would definitely stay at 70 Park Avenue again!
everything great except size of rooms
small rooms but awesome hotel overall. great concierge. good experience
