WOW, the one time when I never requested a view and I had an outstanding panorama of Central Park projecting north of 59th Street from my room on the 55th floor-- Great Midtown location at 54th/Broadway-- a ten minute walk to General Sherman at 59th/5th Ave (starting point for many tours), twenty minute quick march up Broadway to Lincoln Center/MetOpera. Room a bit tight but well equipped. Never used the compact in-room kitchen. Bed was reasonable, environment calm and quiet, decent bathroom (shower). Breakfast entirely adequate-- the usual "Marriott suspects", e.g., the mass-produced cheesy omelet, the mound of sausage patties and vegan substitute for same, the DYI waffler.... Lobby space not much to speak of but very helpful staff, extending from the front desk crew, to bellmen/doormen, affiliated limo guys that were competitive with taxis in terms of getting back to LGA. Given current cost environment, you received quite a bit overall in return.
