Hotel renovations were just finishing when we stayed - but looked like the finished hotel was going to be fantastic. Room was pretty spacious (most city hotel rooms are quite pokey) and bathroom was lovely. Good location for sightseeing - kind of half-way between everything. Central Park in one direction (10min walk) and Rockerfellar etc about 10/15mins in other direction!... more

Stayed at this boutique hotel for a romantic weekend and highly recommend it. The location is perfect: near the best shopping, Broadway, Lincoln Center, and MOMA. The hotel is very modern and nicely appointed. Clean rooms and very friendly staff. I would also the recommend the hotel restaurant Opia for dinner, although there are many choices in the vicinity.

I checked in rather late on Sunday night. Grabbed few bottles of water from Club Lounge and grabbed quick bite at the restaurant. My room was on the small side (one double bed in it) but I liked it. I liked the size of the bathroom as well (it was bigger then Springfield, MA Marriott one, way bigger!). Club Lounge... more

Would not recommend for stays longer than 1-2 days because there's only one very tiny closet to hang clothes and a few shelves to put clothes. Had to remove the full length ironing board to have room for my winter coat, and move coffee maker to have room for clothes. There is not even a smal chest of drawers for... more

At least for our family, the idea of traveling to NYC for a weekend was a bit intimidating. We found the location of the Renaissance to be perfect. We walked every where - Central Park Zoo, Radio City Musica Hall, Rockefeller Center, FAO, etc. The room was small, but very clean with everything we needed. The staff was extremely helpful... more

Stayed at the H57 from 12/30/2009 to 1/2/2010. Excellent location, everything that you need is a short walk away; Central Park, Shops, Museums, Restaurants, & Subways. Small room but the layout works. Patience was necessary for January 1st, housekeeping service was nonexistence, the rest of the days it was fine. Made the reservations on Priceline - excellent value for the... more

Door staff and check in staff very friendly. Allowed us to check in a little early also. Room is small but very clean. Bathroom is modern and huge flatscreen TV. Would try again. more

We booked some months back and got a very respectable rate for two nights -- Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day night. Had we paid more, I would have been disappointed in the hotel. The hotel is very quiet. The restaurant therein is decent and seemingly always open. The decor is very upscale and curentl. The bed was very comfortable... more

Even by typical NYC standards of overpriced hotels this Renaissance is an unfortunate choice. OK the location is A+. BUT at $400+ a night you can't have: 1. the tiniest rooms with beat up furniture (quasi minimal room, already looks old), lightbulbs that are off, missing curtains, blocked safe 2. a different bed type to the one requested, paid for... more
