"Great Hotel for service but the room was way too small. There was only 18 in bweteeen the bed and the tv. My wife and I hit our toes and knees when walking in the room. A $500+ room should be bigger."

"Helpful staff. One downside was that the larger trash cans on room floors was by the elevator. Each morning when we left residents had left take-out containers from the night before in the trash near the elevators and caused a bad smell."

"The Strand Palace has a great location! Lobby is attractive and spacious. Elevators are fast. Our room, on 6th floor, faced the street but was quiet, large closet and drawers, refrigerator, safe, plenty of room for toiletries in the bathroom. Very clean and plenty of comfortable pillows. Anthony, Doorman extraordinaire, is helpful, kind and a one-man-floor-show! Excellent Hotel!❤️"

"This is a solid, very nice mid-tier hotel. Nothing fancy but great for an affordable stay. Its location is excellent, right next to a major underground stop. The only disappointment was the restaurants: breakfast buffet - decent not more; Hell’s Kitchen - well presented, but pricey and not very flavorful, and Lirica - below average in many ways. Bar was terrific however! So best to go elsewhere for dinners."
