The New York Helmsley

My wife and I stayed here between Christmas and New Years. It was really something special to see New York City dressed up for Christmas. Very nice hotel. Easy check in and check out, good service and extra security on the weekend. All of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean. The room could have used an additional mirror near wall outlets. We had a corner room and you could see the Chrysler Building by looking to one side and the East River on the other side. It was a beautiful view at night. The bathroom was very clean. It was a little difficult to regulate the shower water temperture and the pressurer could have been better. The hotel is one block from Grand Central station which made it very easy to use the subway system. The hotel is located in Midtown Manhattan and we fould ourselves usually walking to and from Time Square, Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center. We did not eat at the hotel because we usually were always on go and wanted to try different restaurants. The hotel lobby was small and could have used a few more seats while we were waiting for our ride to the airport. Overall, we were very pleased with this hotel and would recommend others to stay here.l We would stay here again.
