Overview
Some recent visitors said this Midtown East Marriott, just about a mile walk from Central Park, gets the proverbial job done – it's a pleasant place to hang your hat, but it doesn't offer anything too exciting. Still, most report a satisfactory stay overall thanks to the hotel's versatile amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center and the lively 525LEX Restaurant & Lounge. Previous visitors also praise the clean, spacious accommodations, which feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, Thann toiletries and city views. One common complaint among recent travelers, though, was that the elevators were incredibly slow. Guests participating in Marriott's rewards program can earn and use additional privileges for choosing to stay here. Plus, the property is just as gorgeous on the outside with its neo-Romanesque style and stone gargoyles. And here's a a fun fact: Georgia O'Keeffe and her husband actually lived here in the 1920s back when it was called the Shelton Hotel.

Critic Reviews
Located in quiet but central Midtown East, this Marriott has what you'd expect from the big chain (comfy, clean rooms, friendly staff, mediocre food), plus more -- a location with some history, freshly renovated rooms, great electronics, and a fancy top-floor gym with great views of the city.
Built by Jackie O's grandfather and opened in 1924 as the Shelton Towers, this 35-story, 646-room hotel may now be a Marriott, but it retains a decidedly historic feel.
