Independent East Side hotels

"This is a great location for those who want to avoid the crowds of Times Square, etc. The staff was top-notch- friendly & professional & helpful. It’s a smaller hotel which means you won’t wait long for an elevator & both elevators worked! The rooms were big by NYC standards. Will definitely stay here again! "

"We had a great stay at Westgate. We appreciated the great service provided by the front desk and bartending staff. Room was clean. Building felt safe. Perfect walking distance to Grand Central or anywhere in Midtown. If there was only one thing I would point out is that the frosted window in the bathroom was allowing outside air to come in which made the bathroom very cold each morning. We would close the bathroom door at night so the room stayed warm but the bathroom was cold because of the window. However that would not deter us from staying here again. Overall it was a great hotel and we would definitely stay here again. "

"Easy to get around, only 5 min walk to grand central. Make sure you grab breakfast as part of your reservation, it's worth it. Clean and spacious room (compared to other hotels in NYC). I'd certainly recommend this hotel! "

"Great all around"

"Highly recommend! "

"I was in town for my aunt's funeral. I flew in early enough to prepare for the funeral which was held in Brooklyn. I was afforded early check in which was perfect and I am so thankful that the staff was intuitive enough not to add any stress to an already very stressful situation. The hotel is beautiful and I look forward to staying there again when I'm in the city."

"First time staying at Hilton Garden Inn New York/Manhattan-Midtown East. It was very clean. We had beautiful views of the city. Staff was professional and friendly. Great location. We will be back"

"The staff was terrific about storing my luggage while I ran to an event. I did not really get to experience all of the amenities of staying at the hotel, due to limited time. The room was very nice. "

"Convenient location"
