Stayed here with my daughter while visiting New York for the marathon.

The hotel was pricey - but I think that was a busy weekend (and we weren't helped by the pound/dollar exchange rate!). But the rooms were spacious, superbly comfortable, spotlessly clean and incredibly well soundproofed. And the location was great - quiet in the evenings but only a 10 minute walk away from Grand Central, the nearest subway stop and handy for bus routes too. The view from our room was also pretty impressive - looking straight out to the Chrysler Building, with the Empire State to one side.

We made good use of the pool which was quiet and very refreshing - and, as others have commented, had another great view over the river and the UN Building.

As others have said, there were no tea/coffee making facilities and no minibar in the room. Also, the coffee stand is only outside on weekdays, not weekends. But there is a coffee place just across the road (Avanti I think) and a deli nearby too.

We ate breakfast twice in the Comfort Inn (round the block on 45th Street) and it was good. Other friends tried it and John's (even handier) and thought the latter was better.

My husband and I booked a long weekend in NYC in August and stayed at the Millennium Hotel, UN and it was great! We had stayed in NYC in the past at hotels that were nothing like the reviews online, so I was a bit nervous about what we may get. But we were both pleasantly surprised at the hotel as a whole- the staff were very pleasant and kind, the room was clean and extremely spacious, the pool overlooking the city was amazing and the view from the room was breath-taking!!! The valet service was fantastic and the women at the front desk made check-in and check-out very smooth. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great deal without compromising cleanliness and safety.

Spent 7 wonderful days in New York prior to picking up a cruise to Canada and New England.

Hotel in a great location with spectacular views.

Check in very efficient. Rooms clean and very spacious.

Nice little garden area opposite. Enjoyed breakfast at Johns down the road each day but also a great cart just outside the front entrance.

Easy walking to Grand Central Station.

Stayed two nights on a hotwire price of $175 which was better than the price of most 2* hotels in NYC. Check-in was pleasant and fast. We were originally given a room with two twin beds but they quickly switched us to a room with a queen bed (#3310) when we asked for something more "romantic." The room was a good size for NY standards and very clean. The decor was modern, the bed comfortable, the view very nice, although this particular room only had one small window. The only drawbacks were minor: the hall carpeting had seen better days and really should be replaced, the internet access in the hotel business center was pretty pricey ($10 for 20 minutes), as was the charge for local calls from the room ($3.10 for two calls) as we couldn't get cell phone reception there; the shower water pressure was pretty weak and the position of the shower head was too close to the wall so you had to either use the hand-held head or stand right up in the corner to rinse under it; and there was no mirror in the room itself, although a full wall one in the bath - but I found it irksome not to be able to put my make-up on in the room when my partner was in the bath. All-in-all though, it was a very nice ambiance and we would stay there again, especially at such a good price.
