First, I would like to say that I did not pay full price for this hotel stay. I booked a package through Luxury Link, an auction site. The room (central park view, king sized bed), afternoon high tea, and 2 breakfasts were included. The total cost of the package equalled the rack rate of the room for one night. If... more

I was visting NYC with my 76 year old father who rarely travels. Problem was 2 beds in one room. Essex house room was super, quiet, beds were super comfortable, staff very nice, no traffic noise whatsoever, very restful. After all my research, it was a home run. I wanted to add this review after relying on TripAdvisor reviews to... more

This was my first time at Essex House, and it was a winner. I liked being near the Park for running in the morning, and I liked the bar in the hotel for meeting up with colleagues (I was in NY for a media tour). Mid-town is also nice for running around to meetings, centrally located. There's a Pain Quotidien... more

Aside from the proximity to Central Park, there is no reason I could recommend this property. We reported two maintenance problems with our room (called twice), yet received no reply or repairs. Even gave management a chance to make it right at check-out, in hopes they'd redeem themselves. They didn't. Instead, we received a stock e-mail inviting us back with... more

The only bad thing to say was that when we went the building next to us was doing construction. The construction woke us up the very first morning at 5am. For a relaxing weekend away, that was not how we wanted to start our day. However, when we informed the front desk of our problems, it was clear that they... more

Where to begin? Room was not clean, lighting on/ off system is maddeningly complex. All lights in room are on motion detectors. Almost feels as if the writers from Monty Python designed the lighting system. Found matted pubic hair around the toilet. Room service was passable but so expensive it was astonishing! I expect to pay $75 for a simple... more
