The Jewel facing Rockefeller Center

Loved the very central (midtown Manhattan) location of the hotel and the 'bustle' of the nearby streets. Hotel doesn't have bar or restaurant but plenty very close nearby. Room clean, tidy and comfortable. Staff very helpful.

First trip to NYC. We knew we wanted to walk/use public transportation as much as possible. I chose The Jewel based on reviews and its location. We could not have been happier with both of our rooms. The Jewel is very short walk from Broadway theaters playing the shows to which we had tickets(& MANY others).Times Square is blocks away, but the Jewel feels completely removed from the noise and chaos of that area. It is also an easy walk to the south end of Central Park. The rooms are small, but comfortable(pillows aren't great, if you have room, bring your own; not terrible, though). My friend and I were traveling with our daughters. Since we had 3 girls, one of them had to sleep on the chair that converted into a "bed". It did not seem comfortable at all, but the 3 person options in NYC are few and far between, not to mention pricey! My daughter slept fine, but I would not recommend that "bed" to a picky sleeper. The staff is so friendly and very helpful. We requested a fridge and microwave, and one was delivered almost immediately. There is always a staff member at the entrance to greet you and offer assistance. When we were out during the day, our rooms were cleaned and straightened but none of our scattered belongings were disturbed at all. One thing all 5 of us used several times a day was the water bottle filler. There's one on each floor. Fill your own bottle, or use one provided by hotel. We had ZERO complaints during our 4 days. I would definitely stay here again!
