The room was broiling hot, even with the heat off and all the window open on a moderately cool day There was no way to make coffee in the room and the coffee available downstairs was terrible and only available during limited hours. The back-up coffee vending machine was broken. The hidden service fees charged by this hotel (not optional) meant that the final bill was far higher than the price summary indicated by travelocity, truly unacceptable. We feel cheated!!

Location, location, location. Across the street from the Natural History Museum, directly across Central Park from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick, and Neue Galerie, one block from the Subway, you can’t beat the Excelsior for convenience.

Well, the first night was not what we hoped as the air condition was not working. Our room was REALLY REALLY hot. It felt better in the hallway and outside. We called down and were told that had just changed the windows and the air system was changed to set on the heater if it was 55 or lower outside. So, we could not turn on the air or it would only blow heat! Sorry y'all, we are from Texas and I did my homework, this was not mentioned when I booked. It took some time but the hotel "found" a room that still had the option to turn on the air. After we moved everything was excellent! The location is wonderful, the staff is great but don't get stuck in a room with only heat...

No major issues honestly, our door wasn’t working properly and never was fixed after reporting. Beyond that the hotel was fantastic, staff was very friendly and helpful. Spent 5 days there and would stay again without hesitation. Close to Central Park, as well as the subway and plenty of restaurants. I know many people comment about it not being updated, but it’s not like it’s stuck 20yrs in the past. The bathroom was the only area not updated, but reminded me of a bathroom you’d find at your grandmas. 😂
