The Dakota

We booked the hotel for a 7 day visit. The location was amazing, especially if your trip is focused on midtown: we walked to Times Square, Bryant Park, Grand Central, Empire State... lots and lots of food options nearby and an amazing bodega right around the corner and a cozy and delicious little cafe. Shout out to reception desk who were amazing all the time there, the doorman (he rocks), and housekeeping. Everyone was cordial, including the waiters at Take Care restaurant. The room was ample of the 3 of us so we were grateful for that (that was one of the reasons that sold us the hotel) and there were plenty of space for our clothes and luggage. It was also quiet: we requested a quiet room and they gave us one in the corner of the 5th floor. Amazing. It had a view to Lexington street and even so we heard nothing but the occasional door slam (nothing that bothered us) and sometimes a car below, but it was really really quiet!) Our reservation let us choose 2 items every day from their selection, which we liked (apple juice, water bottle, chips, gatorade, etc). We were able to refill our water bottles in the fitness room every day. The restaurant in site, Take Care, is nice and the waiter was amazing, but the pancakes were not tasty

The staff were terrific,, accessible and welcoming... Rooms were kept so clean. Staff at the breakfast buffet were gracious and helpful... Great location... Will be back... Michael & Sarah C.

We had a wonderful stay in NYC for two nights. Could not have asked for a better experience. When we checked in, the front desk informed us that we had a $20/day dining credit for our room, and loaded us up with ice cold water. It was such a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. 100% would stay at again!
