“Simple & Elegant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2012

I spent 2 nights at the Morgans (Madison Ave) recently for a business trip - my regular hotel was sold out - and I had to come back for business a week later and I chose to stay at the Morgans again. Overall, this is a great hotel. Very friendly staff greet you when you walk in (they even remember your name when you go in and out), very clean, the rooms are simple but with a nice touch of modern luxury. Great flatscreen tv and tons of channels, the bed was very comfy, small bathroom but it's modern and love the big fat shower head. Breakfast is included which is a nice bonus, and it's a good mix of fresh croissants & pastries, delicious coffee and cereal, yogurt, etc. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling on business for a quick overnight stay, or for a couples weekend getaway.

I love your title because it really describes what we try to achieve - simple elegance, without all the fuss.

Thank you for taking the time and for mentioning the breakfast options. I think for a complimentary breakfast, we do include quite a few options.

Hopefully you will return some day!

Regards,

“Really great design hotel with tons of nice little extras”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2012

I can only second the great reviews. Excellent designed room with a little sofa and a super-comfortable bed.

Yes, the bathroom is a bit small, but the sink, shower and everything are nicely designed and the water pressure is good. There was no shower gel in my bathroom, only soap, but when I asked with a little note, next day there was.

There is even an international plug adapter in the room, bathrobes, an ipod docking station, minibar. The reception desk is happy to call jazz clubs and restaurants for you to make a reservation and is helpful with personal suggestions that go beyond the usual "Blue Note" and "Cipriani" suggestions heard elsewhere.

Breakfast buffet really good for a buffet included in the price! Bagels, cereals, fruit, yogurt, juice, all there. Free newspaper in the morning, and free Time Out and other magazines.

E-mail with discounted upgrade offer two days before arrival.

My only criticism: I do not think that it is appropriate to charge $10 for wireless for 24 hours. But thanks to the level of design and particularly all these other little extras, for once I am not complaining at all.

Fully recommended! Particularly at that price!

Room Tip: I had a courtyard room, which means you look at a wall from your window. I din't mind as I'm...

Thank you so much for your kind review! One of the nice things about Morgans is that even when the hotel is full (which is very often), it does not feel like it. We do not have crowds coming in and out of the Lobby and the Breakfast Room is so large that it never feels crowded. I am very happy that you found the closet was roomy and you enjoyed using the gym.

I do hope you will return and see us again!

“Unexpectedly good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2012

For a fair price, and in a non descript location, this hotel turned out to be a real gem. Very friendly staff, and for the price and location a decent sized room. Quiet and non trendy, the plusses include a lounge with TV and free coffee so you aren't suck in your room or an overpriced bar, and a good inclusive breakfast.

“Fantastic staff - excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012

My husband, teenage son, and I had a spur of the moment long weekend trip to NYC. Of all the possible locations to stay while in the city, I think Morgans is situated very nicely. Yes, I did have to ask the taxi driver if that was really the hotel when we arrived in the rain as it is not marked outside - but it looks just like the pics you see on this site. The hotel is right down from Grand Central Station where you can catch the subway to anywhere you want to go (and my did we love that place - got some bread, cheese, and wine one day at the marketplace and took it back to the hotel in the 4th floor "library" common area. Worked perfect to relax before our broadway show). There are great bars and restaraunts very close. There are a lot of tourist hot spots located very close too. The rooms were great. We had a one bedroom suite and it worked perfectly. When we left for dinner, they came in and made up the couch in the living room with a mattress perfect for my son. Everyone was happy with separate rooms (and more importantly to him - seperate tv's!). The rooms are very modern in feel, the bed very comfy, and yes, the bathroom is small - but I've had so much worse. There was plenty of room for all our stuff and the shower was a good one! Very hip, swanky type atmosphere. The continental breakfast was ok, but in reality with all the food we continuously ate, starting with a huge breakfast probably isn't the smartest thing! There were coffees, juices, cereals (hot and cold), muffins, bagels, sweets, etc. Perfect for us to start the day.
I have to say, the very best thing would have to be the staff. Very friendly, outgoing, accomodating, and helpful. They helped us with every question, directions, and gave excellent recommendations on eating places. The service above all can make or break any hotel experience for me and this was a great one!!!
Excellent experience for our NYC adventure. Morgans couldn't have worked out better!

I absolutely loved your review, especially when I got to the end and read your impressions of our staff. Thank you so much! After all, it is the people we encounter during a trip that we remember most I think.

Also, your tip about Grand Central Station is a good one for readers of this forum.
