The best location, wonderfully appointed, clean rooms, and very helpful staff. My family and I would definitely recommend the Essex House for an enjoyable NYC stay.
Great location to the park and subway. GREAT staff! This was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at in NYC. I would go right back.. it was an amazing stay!
The hotel was very close to Central Park which was so cool.
The staff were friendly and we loved the junior suite!
Overall I would rate my stay as 4.5 out of 5
We enjoyed the New Year. The hotel is very close to everything—across the street from Central Park, near famous stores, the Times Square area, and many restaurants. The property is gorgeous, very well organized, and clean. The common areas and rooms were spotless, with housekeeping every day.
We highly recommend it!
