During my recent stay, I experienced great service from the staff and appreciated the hotel's prime location near Central Park, which made it easy to explore New York City. However, my room was a bit underwhelming, lacking a view and feeling small. While they offer nice dining options, the lack of in-room amenities was disappointing for the price I paid.

Rooms

6.0

The room was clean but small and had no view, which was a letdown, especially considering the cost. It was comfortable enough with plenty of hot water, but there were some cleanliness concerns behind the bed and with the air conditioning.

Service

Most of the staff were polite and attentive, leaving a lovely cake for my wife's birthday was a nice touch. However, one employee seemed a bit overwhelmed when I made simple requests.

Location

The location is fantastic, directly across from Central Park and close to various tourist spots, making it convenient to get around. It's easy to walk or use nearby subway stations to access other areas within NYC.

The dining options were quite good, offering a nice variety, but the prices were quite high.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were decent, but nothing stood out as exceptional. The lack of basic room amenities like coffee makes it feel a bit lacking for a hotel of this caliber.

My stay at the JW Marriott Essex House was a delightful experience overall. The atmosphere had a beautiful art deco style and the views of Central Park added a special touch to my mornings and evenings. The room was spacious, and while the bathroom felt a bit dated, the comfortable amenities made up for it. However, I did notice that the dining could be improved in terms of variety and price. I had a couple of hiccups with service which brought my overall experience down slightly.

We had a mixed experience at the JW Marriott Essex House. The location is unbeatable, right across from Central Park, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and relatively spacious. However, we faced some issues with the check-in process, and the dining could use improvement in variety. Overall, while the hotel has its perks, some aspects might not meet the high standards expected from a luxury property.

5.0/10

While the hotel's location is prime, being right across from Central Park, my overall experience was marred by the service quality and dining options. The room I received did not offer the expected view and had some noise issues. The atmosphere felt a bit off, especially during a special occasion. Despite its reputation, the hotel didn't quite meet my expectations regarding staff attentiveness and food quality.

Rooms

The room was supposed to have a Central Park view, but I ended up on a lower floor with a limited view, which was disappointing. Additionally, there was some noise from nearby construction, making it less than ideal for relaxation.

Service

Service was inconsistent; while some staff members were friendly, overall attentiveness was lacking, especially when it came to addressing guest needs.

Location

The hotel's location is excellent for exploring New York, with easy access to Central Park and nearby attractions. However, my room's low floor diminished the expected view experience.

Dining

Facilities like the Executive Lounge had potential but ultimately did not deliver what I hoped for in terms of variety and quality.
