Jumeriah Essex House NYC

Has anybody stayed in this hotel recently? I'm staying there on my trip to NYC and wondered what other member's experiences of it were?

Never stayed there but it's a good location. Do you know if you have a view of Central Park?

The location is amazing, right next to Cental Park, but unfortuantely I cound not afford a Central Park view room

We stayed there for 3 nights in one of the refurbished junior suites just over a year ago. View was of the courtyard, but the room itself was spacious and modern. Flat screen TV with personalised welcome screen (and a catchy little relaxing tune) that turned itself on one night and frightened the life out of us! Modern fittings throughout and automatic floor lighting for if you want to pop to the loo in the middle of the night, although this can be a little sensitive if you are just turning over!

Restaurant for breakfast (included in our package)was a small buffet and was OK, had better, but it did the job. Ate there once, fairly empty, but good service and food was of a good stanard.

Location was excellent for Central Park and only 10 minute walk from Time Square/Broadway and 5th Avenue etc.

All in all, a good hotel (with mixed reviews on trip advisor) - our room was great, service good too, perhaps lacked a bit of an atmosphere or 'something'. Would try another hotel next time we went there, but if it is your first visit there, I am sure you would like it as we did.
