I lived at PC for a few months while my new apartment was renovated. (Note: PC is very popular for this; a high proportion of the guests here seem to be New Yorkers between homes; also a sprinkling of movie and TV stars in town for a gig.) You can rent a studio, one, or two bedroom (all with a kitchen) by the day, week or month. The rooms/suites are stylish, modern and comfortable. Great big flat-screens, Bose sound system, attractive lighting, nice kitchen and bathroom. My one-BR was quiet. PC's lobby is kind of stunning, I always felt special walking through it. PC's location is terrific, not just for Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, and all the conveniences nearby like Barnes & Noble, the gym, Balducci's, etc. Also it's a block away from the 1 and 9 train and several Broadway bus lines, so you can get around town easily and inexpensively. What I liked the best about this place was the staff. The doormen, desk people, housekeeping and maintenance people, they all give top-notch service. They were unfailingly friendly and helpful. The moment I had a problem, they were on it. They can arrange anything - car service, in-room massage, dry cleaning, messengers, show tickets, you name it. I felt very well taken care of at PC and I recommend it highly. My only caveat is that it's expensive. But you get what you pay for here.

Been there for 2 years while studying in NY. i got the apt 711 and I must say that it beats any other buildings in term of services and location (2 steps from colombus circle where my university was).
Maid service available at any time. Balducci is just down the building. Jsut across the street, the supermarket and the cinema.
just under the bulding tower record and Victoria s secret.

the location rocks !

the downside is the excessive price for long term stay (a bit more than 5500$/month).

I'd definitly go back but I ll negotiate the price first.

I've stayed here a couple of times recently, and I really like coming back to it. Rooms are 1-bedroom or studio apts, with (barely equipped) kitchens so in the mornings I could eat some cereal and make some coffee... from the Balducci's right downstairs, of course. You almost feel like you have your own (rather elegant) apartment in New York. The building is in fact a mix of hotel and condo, I think. A lot of performers coming to Lincoln Center stay there, I hear.

Why I'm giving it 4 stars, not 5: first, the neighborhood -- I was glad to be out of midtown or Times Square, but I wish there were some interesting shops or restaurants right nearby... maybe there is and I haven't found it yet. (Though it's steps from the 1-line subway so easy to get anywhere fast.) #2, as a hotel it's hardly full-service. People are plenty nice but it just doesn't have the services of a 5-star place.

We loved the Phillips Club. Our one bedroom apartment with full kitchen was bright, spacious and very handsomely appointed. It was well designed and maintained. It was great having use of the Reebok Club across the street which is a terrific gym ____much better than the typical hotel facility.
Also, we enjoyed the neighborhood and good location.
Of course, if you are looking for all the amenities that are provided in hotels, ex. room service, attention to your every whim, this may not be the place for you. There is no restaurant or bar. But, we found the staff very courteous and helpful. We felt as if we were living in the city instead of visiting tourists.
