The Kixby is a hidden gem. Very reasonably priced, large room with a king bed, a drawer safe, refrigerator, great shower. Desk staff were very helpful and attuned to customer service. Very friendly. They knew the area well and their knowledge improved our travel experience. This is an old building with narrow staircases, well worn marble stairs, and a turn of the century feel. Small tempermental elevator coaches. A penthouse with a rooftop bar was icing on the cake. Beautiful views of the Empire State Building, Macy's, and Herald Square. A hydration station on floor 2 was a very nice surprise.
Square. Close to the Garden. Great area restaurants, international feel with a nice mix of New Yorkers. We loved it.
