Top Midtown East Hotel Reviews

Westgate New York Grand Central

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place - very clean rooms, lovely decor. Will stay there again."

The Westin New York Grand Central

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town to attend my niece's wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral. We could have stayed at a hotel closer to the venue, but this location allowed us to explore Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, the New York Public Library and everything in between. The lobby is gorgeous and the staff was great. Minor niggle, I wish the lobby bar was open just a tad later. They were about to close when we arrived after the wedding, but the staff accommodated us for a nightcap, An unexpected and much appreciated gesture."

Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"I am so surprised it was very nice experience. And the coffee was pretty good although the coffee shop person seemed rushed and under pressure a lot. Other than that, very friendly staff, very helpful, good location, if you are into citi bikes, they are very accessible."
