We stayed for about a week at their executive suite on the penthouse level; it came with an outdoor patio. Room was worth the extra $. BTW, we didn't eat at the hotel, so we can't say how good the food was.

Pros: room was larger than most NY hotel rooms and very clean; great king-sized mattress (real king, btw, not the shrunken king at some hotels) that was just firm enough. Separate oversized shower & tub combo. Larger bathroom. Outdoor patio access via glass sliding doors, lots of natural light, quiet (room was at back of hotel); efficient & courteous staff - extras we asked for came promptly. They stored our luggage with no hassle. Easy booking a car to the airport ($85 one-way transfer, plus tax, tip). And, great location! The hotel is on a quiet street but it's only half-block away from shopping on 5th ave. and both high- and low-end restaurants. It's also only a few blocks from Rockefeller, Times Square, Broadway, MoMA, Central Park, Trump, subway, etc. There's also a food mart around the corner at 55 & 6. We tried out different delis, and as the Peninsula is half-block away, and we splurged on their breakfast buffet twice - yum! Never had problem catching a cab at front of the hotel.

cons: bathroom door does not lock! There's limited counter space around the sink, and only one hard chair and the massage chair in the room. There's a tiny desk and very little room to put your things away. The patio is lovely, but it's shared with the suite next door w/o a privacy wall/fence. Also, the vents would emit smoke odor into our room (I suspect this happened when someone on our floor was smoking in their room).

Honestly, if it wasn't for the shared patio leading to lack of privacy/security, I think I would have given the hotel 5 stars - but it freaked me out that whoever was staying next door could walk over anytime to the glass sliding doors and look in. Further, I noticed the patio isn't enclosed - it seems to encircle the roof level all around the building - we heard someone (we hope/assume it was the hotel security) walk past the glass door at dark, so we assumed others (staff, etc.) had access to that patio area at all times. The sliding glass door didn't look all that secure to me, so that was a major concern as well. If they can fix that, I'd give the hotel 5 stars.

We stayed at the Shoreham because we got a really good deal online. 3rd night free. We were greeted with champagne at check in. Nice after a long day of travel. Our room was on the 8th floor with a view of the street.
Room was decorated very modern. It was a little small but adequate. It had a wonderful massage chair. Bed was comfy and everything was clean. They sent up a bottle of champagne and a bowl of strawberries to celebrate our anniversary.
We asked the front desk a lot of questions about directions and they were all always very helpful.
I would stay there again if I got a great deal. Location was close to everything. There is a dunkin donuts a few doors down to grab something for breakfast. They had oatmeal and bagels too.

Location was INCREDIBLE!, to put it lightly.

First of all my friend wanted to get the best price for the value and quailty. She went through Price line. She got it for $350 a night for each 2 nights total bill was $850.00 including taxes and Valet parking in which it was $45 a day for New Years Eve and day. The only issue I had with Price Line will give you one of the cheapest rates, but there is a catch to it, you get what you pay for. A one small room with one bed. Thank God I called the hotel manager for the upgrade a week before we left. I had to pay another $125 a night for a 2 bedroom apartment style hotel, that was well worth it, since to rooms were so small.

Well we wanted to go cheap, so there was 9 of us in the 2 bedroom apartment style hotel. I was trying to have every one spend $100 for 2 nights in New York City was quite challenge. There me, my sister Mishell, Brett, Jordan, Nicole, Andy, Jen, Tonya, and Angie. Cramped in the rooms. I was to trying to was cleverly orastrated the sleeping arrangement.

First got to the room, I did not expect the rooms to be that small. The way the pictures show it to be large, in-which it was very small. So my friend Tonya and Angie stayed in one room. My sister and I stayed In so called living room. The rest them in the master bed room. Thank god, I brought an air mattress, put next to there bed. So 5 of them in the room, after all that I needed a drink.

Back to the hotel. As I said" Great location in New York 55th close to Central park and great walking distance to Time Square". Hotel was very contemporary. Clean room, but very small living room. The only issue we had was the standing shower flooded the bathroom floor. Guest service was great. They always brought us tons so towels, toiletry and ice. Overall I would stay here again, very friendly staff and manager did a great job to service us.

Lovely hotel, great service, good location. I booked a junior suite which was great. The room was smaller than I expected and the bathroom was tiny, I gained a few bruises from negotiating doors. But I guess that is New York in terms of room space. The room wasn't as modern as the flashy reception area and It was a little tired. My daughter loved the massage chair and it was great for a 10 year old because we had the sitting room to watch a movie in the evenings once we had finished carriage rides and cycling around central park...
