Wonderful NYC hotel find

I recently spent the weekend at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel in NYC, and found it to be a fabulous find! This was my first time at the Fitzpatrick, although I visit NY often, and I got a really good room rate through online travel website. The room was a deluxe room with queen size bed. At check in I requested a high floor and facing the street (not a wall), and they gave me a wonderful room on the 8th floor--plenty of light with windows on two sides, very spacious, beautiful linens and toiletries, wonderful marble bathroom with good shower, plenty of hangers, fridge and coffee maker, immaculate, and the world's softest and cushiest bed.. From the Front Desk to Housekeeping, everyone was professional, pleasant, and accommodating. I also had two breakfasts at the Pub, which were very good, although the sausage was a little undercooked--however, had I asked them to take them back and cook them longer, they would have. Providing the NY Times (including Sunday) outside the restaurant for guests, was also a great civilized touch. Location on 44th between Lexington and Third turned out to be fine, with Grand Central Station and subway lines right across the street. All in all, I have absolutely no complaints, and thank the hotel for such a wonderful stay.
