70 park avenue, a Kimpton Hotel

Based on the reviews I expected something more, larger rooms and better amenities. Still, the hotel wasn't bad, the room was clean and the staff rather friendly. However, on the checkout I've had an unpleasant moment when their credit card payment system broke down I was accused of having no money on my account and being unauthorized, which I certainly was not. All in all I'll give it a 4 out of 5, anyway it is not Waldorf Astoria where I've previously stayed.

Great first impression which lasted throughout the stay. Helpful and friendly staff team. Lovely and clean. A couple of blocks from Times Square. Free iced water on tap and free hot chocolate in flasks when the weather got cold. A hosted wine hour between 5 and 6 every evening. John the barman was fun. We stayed at Thanksgiving and the Christmas feeling was great. A helicopter ride is a must if you can afford it. The 9/11 memorial is thought provoking and beware you have to book a time slot to visit although there is no charge and there is sometimes a lack of availability. Bryant Park with the ice rink and Christmas stalls after dark is a must.,

Hotel is realy convenient for midtown east and west. Rooms are small but really nicely appointed. Only negative was no hot water in the AM!

Wonderful experience, would definitely stay here again. Clean, comfortable, larger than other NYC rooms I've seen. Anything we needed, even a steamer was brought right up. Great, convenient midtown location. I love Kimpton's!

They did a nice job during the recent renovation of 70 Park Ave. The hotel is clean and felt comfortable. I was a little disappointed with the 2nd floor room I had. The windows were completely frosted and didn't allow any light in due to the fact that a large A/C unit was directly outside. Not bad, but if you want something nicer and in a better location stay at the W for a couple dollars more.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The hotel itself was really nice, clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. My only issue was the bathroom as it was a little small and hard to move around. The location was really convenient as my friend and I wanted to hit all of the touristy places; 15 min walk to Times Square, short walk to the Empire State Building & Grand Central Station, short cab ride to the World Trade Center memoral etc. There was also complimentary coffee/tea in the morning and wine/sangria in the evening. Great hotel at a great price, I would definately recommend!

Great location and quiet, considering it's on Park Avenue and a couple of blocks from Grand Central. The staff were so friendly, helpful and funny, they really made us feel at home. Every single member of staff you passed greeted you warmly. The doorman was excellent, we had some trouble with getting a taxi to take us to the Bronx so he got the exact directions for the driver. The concierge and reception staff were extrmely helpful when it came to bookings, directions and general information.They planned an entire day for us, helicopter tour, tickets for World Trade Centre etc. then piled us with discounts for shops. We were too busy to enjoy the daily wine evening but the atmosphere in the lobby was exciting. We signed up for the free Kimpton membership programme which meant that we got free WiFi! The attached bar/restaurant is stunning. The only qualm we had was the morning breakfast there was quite dissappointing and a tad expensive for what was on offer. Overrall it was the best New York hotel I've stayed at so far and only wish we could've stayed longer.

Stayed at 70 park avenue this past weekend. It was convenient to Grand Central Station. They have wine in the evening, which is great! The room was very clean. If the staff could've remembered that we needed three washcloths instead of two, it would've been perfect. However, we had to ask for an additional washcloth each of the three days.

My gfs and I, 4 of us just back from our mini Memorial Bday Weekend Getaway in NYC. This place made it even memorable for my first visit in the city plus made my bday weekend even funner. Perfect location in the middle of midtown 1 block away from Grand Central Station, and next door to Bofa and Starbuck..perfect for us since we love our coffee there. When I checked in the receptionist, forgot her name, gave me a welcome-bday-gift, a tray of champagne and 2 slices of delish cheese cakes and strawberries..well..actually I told her that I checked in the same day as my bday. But besides that this is not big hotel like W, this is a nice small hotel but very clean and cozy. The staffs are very nice and welcoming, overall..the girls and I had a wondeful time and everytime we back to our hotel we feel like home again. Thanks 70 park Ave..we miss you already!! kisses from Sunny Cali!!

Good service, good staff. All around not a bad place whatsoever. However, the room is small, the bathroom is microscopic. Luckily my girlfriend is small so we were able to manage, but i'm about 6ft tall and it was a bit difficult in the shower and bathroom area.
