Room was much smaller than described online. Beds are NOT queen size, full size at best. Their “amenities fees” which they take from your deposit isn’t explained at all when booking and the sign describing it is small and almost hidden at the desk. WiFi is junk, which they charge you for… who does that anymore? Their “welcome drink” at check-in is billed to you in the amenity fee at check out. NO ONE uses land lines anymore, yet they feel they need to charge you for it. It’s funny on their amenity fees, they list first package delivery is “free of charge.” Just how is that when it’s listed on the fees charged to you ? They charge you for luggage storage day of check in and out… seriously ?? The place itself is nicely kept, but to charge each person staying by a separate amenity fee is RIDICULOUS. Certainly would not stay there again, there are LOTS of other hotels in the city that would love your business, that don’t hide all of these fees to be taken at checkout. Oddly enough, EVEN tho the place is nice, I’d look at other places even if they were a little further away. Average at best. Come on EVEN, do better by your customers. Your rates are high enuf that you don’t need to take an additional $137 for these silly fees of things you “offer” to visitors.

This hotel was really nice, clean, and the staff were really helpful. Housekeeping did an outstanding job making sure I got the best experience. The front desk made check in, check out, and understanding my bill really easy. The hotel is not far from Times Square/Grand Central terminal so travel is really easy. When I go back to New York I will definitely be staying here! 10/10 recommend and this feedback from me is 100% authentic. If you’re traveling from New York this is your place.

The staff was incredibly helpful and upbeat. Sincerely seem to like their jobs. That is always a big selling point for me. The outside bar on the second floor was a real treat after being indoors most of the day. And the food was good. Also, the fact that you can open the window in your room even a tiny bit is a real plus for me. I will definitely be back.

Lovely clean room, helpful staff and great location. We had an interesting stay. The building across the street was being renovated and part of the building collapsed just before checkout. I do not envy the staff that morning. They were getting a million calls and questions from guests. In my opinion they handled everything perfectly. Kept calm, accommodated everyone and coordinated with the parking garage to make sure everyone was getting out safely. Maintaining a hotel in midtown cannot be easy but they made it look that way. Kudos for handling a difficult situation expertly. Very very impressed.

Great location near Grand Central. 5 min walk to nearest train and metro stations. Walking distance to everywhere in the city.

The hotel deserves a 4 star for a small compact hotel. Room size is decent. Clean. Mine is 2 single bed room. There was enough space for two people. Bathroom was also big and clean.

The brekkie was good. You could choose one hot or cold item. Hot food included eggs or waffle or oatmeal.

Overall it was great experience. I paid a lot on July 4 weekend . I hope it is not too expensive in general.

The TVs in the rooms are worthless. I am not sure why you have such old tech. I was so dissapointed that I couldn't use any streaming apps on the TV, as it isnt even an option. When I come to NYC for work, I want to relax in my hotel and watch my Netflix, Prime, or YouTube on my downtime. It was very disappointing to have to watch broadcast TV with commercials.
I won't stay at this hotel again for this very reason. In fact, going forward, I will certainly make sure my hotel room has a TV with loaded apps, so I can stream my shows.

Chante(mgr) and Justin went above and beyond to help me as Expedia sent me an itinerary for 3 days and the hotel had me their for 2 days. They went above and beyond to help me find a room for the night got me something to drink and showed that they truly care about their customer experience. I’m grew up in NY and come back to visit a few times a year. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else but here.

This was my second time staying at this hotel.
For honesty sake, I have stayed at other high- end hotels for ‘social media reasons’

Even is NOT just a hotel, EVEN is a ‘home away from home’. Your friendly staff delivers bags of ice ( when needed), they proudly give first names if any ‘help’ is required. Twice I was told as well as another “if we can do anything more to make your stay more comfortable, just let us know”. That’s a family working together. EVEN is class.
From Guy, to Justin, to Jonathan—- your staff of 30 ( whose names are not all memorized), I am grateful.
Thank you so very much— Best home in the City. You are greatly appreciated. Sincerely- Elana Nawy

The hotel itself was very nice — clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The rooms were well maintained and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. However, the customer service from most of the staff was disappointing and not very welcoming. The only person who was genuinely kind and friendly during my stay was the cleaning lady, who always greeted me with a smile and made me feel comfortable.

This hotel is located about two blocks from Grand central, so that location was convenient for me to catch trains out of. Room cleaners were very nice and courteous. The views from my higher floor were nice. No street noise at all which I loved. The room I booked was basic, and it was pretty darn small. The only place for my suitcase was either taking up half the bed, or completely covering the smallish desk in the room. Negatives: the front desk is located on floor 2, and 50% of the time nobody was there to help you. The elevators seemed slow. If you want ice for drinks, it says there's ice on every few floors, but when I asked they said \"well actually just the 2nd floor\" Ok, tried the ice machine and water came out, Finally asked bartender, he had to go into the kitchen. I had to do this for my entire trip. A bit of a hassle. Overall a decent stay, but they could use help making sure the little things are working and perhaps better staffing at the desk.

Housekeeping didn’t change my sheets all week they did service the room there was apiece of tissue under the sink rack when I checked in it was still there when I checked out today so I don’t know I can say it was throughly cleaned??? You have a good product for sure

We enjoyed our stay and felt paying extra for a high floor with a city view was worth the money. We could see the East River and the Chrysler building. It is a 5 minute walk to Grand Central. Since we would be taking Metro North, we chose to stay close by. It was a long walk to Times Square where we went to see a musical. I will need to call Expedia because the hotel failed to give us credit for the $365 deposit. They emailed me my receipt, so I didn’t see the mistake until later in the day.

My room was great, went with 2 queens to be able to spread at as I know how small an NYC hotel room can be. Check in was quick, they have 3 elevators which makes getting in and out of the hotel fast and easy. It’s a wonderfully central location in Midtown east. I could walk everywhere which I love, but it’s also within a 5 min walk to Grand Central for access to all different types of transportation. I would stay there again!!

I’ve stayed in many hotels in NY and I have to say that this was the worst as far as size of room and poor communication w front desk staff. Just very unfriendly!!!

Definitely more ideal for the business traveler rather than families (The rooms themselves were a little too small for family travel, and we'll be sure to take note of that size when booking future rooms)
The room we got was leaking water in the bathroom and kept us up for the first night. To the staff's credit, they moved us to another room, but the front desk clerk barely showed any human traits of concern or empathy as she was doing it.
The keycards weren't the best quality for us (or some of the other travelers) and caused issues in the elevator.
We did not take part in Breakfast since it was an exorbitant additional charge - It was far cheaper (even by NYC standards) to just eat at one of the dozens of places around the block.

The central location in Manhattan was a great convenience though, so I would give credit for that.
