The hotel is unique in decor. It is older, but very clean and antique decor. I loved it. We were pleasantly surprised to get a larger room. Very close to Central Park and Museum across the street. Also subway is close. We walked to the theatre district for a play. I was so happy to find that cleaning staff found my wallet. I had left it in the safe and staff had given it to the office. What a huge relief!! Nice to know we do have some decent honest people in this world!! Excelsior is our recommendation to stay in NYC! Love New York. Hope to get back soon!

Great location and great value. Horrible coffee setup and snacks are awful but otherwise fabulous.

Beautiful hotel, not enough hot water & broken AC

It’s a beautiful hotel with a view overlooking the Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately the air conditioner pumped out hot air instead of cold air, even when the in-room thermostat was set to cool; and the shower sometimes didn’t have enough hot water.

Location, location, location. I have stayed in many different parts of Manhattan. I loved this spot because it is right next to Central Park and the B & C Subway lines. The staff were friendly. The hotel is old-fashioned. The fan in my bathroom was very loud.

Best position on Upper West Side. Hotel updated to modern standard while maintaining true period atmosphere. Feel and reality is an intimate high end New York hotel.

I wish there had been somewhere could have eaten dinner or a snack. Also, no room service.

This hotel is wonderful! I completely enjoyed my two day stay there. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was immaculate and well maintained. The only negative thought I have is that there is no longer a restaurant in the hotel forcing visitors to find a place for breakfast and lunch in the surrounding blocks.
