Recent Room Mate Grace Review: "I was in the city for a business trip and stayed here on a saturday night. After reading all the reviews I was a little bit concerned about the noise from the hotel club and the size of the room.Turns out none of this was an issue.
The hotel honored my request for a quite room ( was on the 8th floor). I had no problems sleeping.
The room was large enough for 2 people to share and store luggage ( I had a king size bed).
The bed is comfortable but is on a platform so if you have any disabilities it may be a little difficult to get in an out of but for most people this would be fine.
A quick comment on the lack of ammenities ( room service, safety and lack of shampoo etc etc) that some have mentioned.
This a boutique hotel so some of the ammenities you would expect from a larger hotel chain will not be found here. In a city like New York you probably do not need them.
REGARDING ROOM SERVICE: There are plenty of places to eat and many would even deliver late.
REGARDING ROOM AMMENITIES Shampoo etc: There was shampoo,conditioner, body gel and lotion in the room as well as a hair dryer, safe bigger enough for a laptop , bathrobes and an unstocked refridgerator. I found this all adequate but once again you could easily find shampoo etc close by as there are chain drugstores with in walking distant.
REGARDING SAFETY : I liked that there was a bouncer at the front door for the club downstairs. Most hotels do not have that. I actually felt safer as the small lobby and bouncer made it more difficult for someone to get into the hotel .
Lastly, I fouund the location great, staff friendly and helpful, the room clean and quiet. I was very happy would my stay and would stay her again with no reservations."

Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

| Overview |
|
Right around the corner from Times Square, Room Mate Grace is a fun and funky hotel that offers a surprising bonus: an indoor pool with a swim-up bar right in the lobby. And the location is ideal: You'll be within a 10-minute walk of dozens of Broadway theaters. Wake up early and stroll 3 blocks to Rockefeller Center to see a live broadcast of The Today Show or take a tour of NBC Studios. (If you're visiting in winter, lace up some rental skates and take a spin around the famed ice rink, while the giant Christmas tree sparkles above.) Central Park, 1 mile north, is great for long walks or romantic horse-and-carriage rides. Owned by celebrity hotelier Andre Balazs, the international Room Mate chain puts location first and foremost, with a staff that can help you make the most of your trip. Each hotel is given a different name representing its distinct personality. A big draw at the Grace is the lobby pool. Take a plunge and listen to underwater tunes, or grab a seat above water in the 24-hour lounge, where DJs spin modern music 5 nights a week. You can also relax in the sauna or the spacious steam room, both in the pool area. Before heading out for the day, fuel up with a breakfast buffet (surcharge), served until noon. After catching a Broadway show, head back to the bar for a quick cocktail, or stay and make a night of it, with music playing into the wee hours. The bar features windows that look out on the pool area, creating a unique see-and-be-seen atmosphere. While the Grace has no onsite restaurant, there are plenty of options within a short walk--from upscale sushi to burgers and beers, and all the famous New York street food in between. When you're ready to rest those walking bones, you'll return to a stylish room that puts comfort first. Beds are outfitted with pillowtop mattresses, down duvets, and down pillows. Catch up with friends or get down to business via complimentary wireless Internet access. Watch a late-night show on the flat-screen TV, complete with DVD player. And, with a bedside iPod clock radio, you can awaken to your own playlist.
