Hyatt Grand Central New York
"Popped in for a first time visit to New York for an event. The place was affordable for being downtown. Was right at Grand Central station so wherever we wanted to go was easily accessible by the Subways. Check in was easy and our room wasn’t huge by any means but that’s not most important to me. ..."
