The hotel is located conveniently near Grand Central terminal on a relatively quiet street. The rooms are cozy, but the air conditioning was not working properly. The staff, especially Nellie, Judy, and another gentleman, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The coffee shop next door provided excellent options. Prices were fair for the value offered.

I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The room was comfortable and clean, though the shower in the bathtub was not my favorite, and the air conditioning was a bit noisy. The service was excellent, with a very courteous and helpful staff. The location was fantastic, conveniently close to Grand Central Station, but there were some disappointments with the lack of kitchen amenities. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially as a Hilton Honors Gold member. The facilities met my needs during my stay.

Upon arrival, the hotel seemed promising with stylishly decorated rooms offering a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom with quality toiletries. However, the fridge in my room had a noticeable soda residue which was off-putting. The location is a major advantage being central but not as chaotic as Times Square. The service was a mix of cold and unhelpful interactions alongside extremely accommodating staff, making for a somewhat inconsistent experience. The dining, while good overall, had its ups and downs, particularly towards breakfast. Overall, it was a comfortable and functional stay with a few hiccups along the way.

The hotel was a disappointing experience overall. The rooms were too small for a family of four, with leaking onto the floor and encountering people sleeping in the lobby after a tiring 16-hour flight. However, the location in Times Square was positive with vibrant surroundings and close proximity to Bryant Park. The service was mixed, with cold and uncaring interactions but availability when problems arose. The dining options were limited, with an adjoining restaurant offering only an OK experience. The facilities had some issues, but the King studio suite was a premium location at the Renwick.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were a bit smaller than expected for the price, they were clean and had a great view of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. Unfortunately, the service was lacking and sometimes rude, with no apologies for the poor level of assistance. On the bright side, the location was excellent, close to Grand Central Station and surrounded by great food options. The dining choices were limited, but at least there was free coffee available. Overall, it's a decent place for the value.
