Absolutely Wonderful Stay At This Iconic Property

10.0

TLDR - An amazing stay at this iconic NYC luxury property with a phenomenal suite upgrade through NUAs, one of the nicest executive lounges I’ve experienced, and lovely staff. Steps from everything this property is a winner for me. I had a July 4th weekend stay at the JW Marriott Essex House in NYC. Having lived in this amazing city and always seeing this iconic Central Park South property, I was excited to finally stay here. NUAs cleared almost a week out which was shocking and I was upgraded to a high floor Manhattan suite which actually had some great Central Park views from the living room. Check-in was seamless with lovely staff who made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious and lovely, very well maintained with an entry hall, half bath, huge living room and spacious bedroom with gorgeous Manhattan views. The bathroom featured a walk-in shower, soaking tub, single vanity and toilet area. Housekeeping was well-executed. Couldn’t have been happier. Even though it was a busy July 4th weekend and crowds in town for World Cup game on July 5th, I never heard noise in the hallway or adjoining rooms. The AC worked very well during a horrible heat wave. The executive lounge was one of the nicest I’ve encountered in my worldwide Marriott stays. The space is very large and well-appointed. Breakfast was really lovely and the staff were so friendly. I never made it down for evening offerings since they don’t offer weekends but can only imagine they are nice also. Also loved having stacks of New York Times available every day including Sunday! Don’t forget to take advantage of the destination fee benefits which will pay for the fee. Ask the front desk for a card which outlines all the amenities. An absolutely perfect stay at an iconic NYC property steps from everything!

Todo a excepción de que nos dieron una habitación demasiado chica a pesar de haber pedido un habitación con vista al central park y que sea grande … es la primera vez que nos dan esta hab tan pequeña y se supone que nos iban a cambiar y no lo hicieron

La hab que nos dieron a pesar de que habíamos solicitado una igual a la que siempre estamos
