70 Park Avenue Hotel

Stayed there in august. For being so hot outside the room was actually a nice relief from the heat. Although they were a little on the small side, it was inviting and accommodating. Service was nice, very personable.

As a female business traveler who's sampled several hotels in NY, I truly appreciated this rare find--a bright, light, clean, well-situated but not hugely expensive hotel where I felt safe and pampered. Great neighborhood, spotless room, friendly staff with good recommendations for local eateries (there's a restaurant, but I didn't try it--I wanted good pizza). Rooms are small (typical NY) but well-thought-out; there's plenty of light for working or reading; nice flat-panel tv. I had a room on the 3rd floor, so there was lots of... more

We've stayed in Kimpton hotels in Boston and San Francisco and enjoyed the boutique feel and warm touches unique to Kimpton such as the wine tastings, massage in San Francisco. I have to say, during this trip I must have called to modify our stay no less than 10 times. There was an illness in the family and things were up in the air. Each and every time the representative I spoke to was professional, helpful and even thoughtful. With all the changes I'd made there certainly would be room for error, but no, we were able to check in... more

Although we do appreciate that in New York hotel rooms are sometimes on the small side, but here the room size was ridiculously small! My husband had to turn sideways just to enter the bathroom, and even then only one person could just about stand to use the facilities. My husband actually injured his back having to negotiate the wardrobe and the bathroom. The hallway was very dark and often blocked with laundry trolleys, which again had to be negotiated to get into and out of the room. We did ask to be moved, but were told there were... more

I just returned from a 4 night leisurely trip to NYC. The trip turned out to be wonderful because the weather was great and we had plenty of time to see everything we planned. The hotel was above average. I was very pleased with its location, which was on Park Avenue and 38th street. Upon leaving the hotel lobby, you can look up Park Avenue and see the Grand Central Station facade and the Met Life building. There is a starbucks on 39th Street one block up Park, which we went to every night as our nightly walk. We were too exhausted... more

First time in NY - was expecting a small room, but ours was very small with no drawer space (one drawer) and an okay-sized closet (there were about 10 wooden hangers in the closet, an ironing board and iron, and a safe). The bathroom was decent-sized, had good toiletries, and a shower with great water pressure and temp. It was HOT while we were there, and our A/C did not work well, but cooled the room off to probably 75-80 degrees (it was in the low-mid 90s during our stay). The plasma TV was great (there was NO room for a regular TV),... more

First, the pros - the lobby and rooms are decorated nicely, minimalist/modern/european styling and comfortable. The rooms are decent size by New York standards, but you're not going to be able to throw a party in them. There wasn't a dresser, the a decent sized armoire. The bathroom was large and well stocked. The bed was comfortable. Everything was very clean. And this was the first hotel I stayed in that had a plasma screen TV, very nice. Second, the cons - The hallways are narrow and dim, but its an old building so that's forgivable.... more

Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. Staff were fine and although room is quite small it was very comfortable. On the downside was the sliding bathroom door which was very difficult to use, lack of storage and our room was next to the linen store which led to us getting woken too early every morning. Excellent location, bed and TV. Never used the restaurant as it appeared a bit on the pretentious side. Would definately stay again.

Having booked this hotel through Priceline, I was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews here. Overall, I was pleased with our stay, but do acknowledge some of the complaints here. First, other writers were indeed accurate about the toilet (right next to the heater) and the closets (very small). I would also argue that it is not a four star hotel, but a three star. Given what we paid on Priceline, I feel we got a good deal for a three star. If I had paid full price for our King Deluxe room, it would have felt overpriced. Our... more

Awesome service but too expensive, considering the fact that, other than the bar, there's no activities at the hotel and the rooms are very small without even mention the size of the bathrooms. And even though it was nice and clean and coveniently located we had some trouble with the A/C. It was too hot and the temperature couldn't adjusted without help.
