My partner and I checked in on the 1st of March. The hotel was booked through a travel agency which included a petite room and included resort fees. Check in was very quick and we were asked if we would like an upgrade which would cost $40 a night. We declined as we thought there would be no need. However when we got to our room, we were shocked at the size. It was definitely petite and we could barely fit in ourselves never mind our luggage. We went straight back down to reception and I spoke to two lovely receptionist who upgraded our room free of charge which was a lovely gesture. Our second room was so much bigger and airey with two bathrooms a sitting room and kitchen. Completely different to the petite room. The rooms are very clean and housekeeping was done every day. The only problem we had was it is very outdated and the windows are barely single glazed so you can hear every bit of noise all night. Ear plugs were provided in the room but they weren't much good so if your going to stay here invest in good earplugs.
The hotel is conveniently located and just across the road from MSG and Penn station. Macys is about 5 minutes walk away and Time Square is about 10 minutes away. Loads of places to eat close by I would recommend Andrews Coffee Shop for breakfast and Mustang Harry's for bar food.
On checking out of the Stewart I was told that they were taking the resort fee from my credit card and I had to show them confirmation that I had already paid it. I showed them my itinerary from the travel agent that it was included but the lady wanted an itemised bill which of course I did not have. I had to explain that I was told this could happen and my travel agent told me to make sure I was not charged. After a bit of discussion with another staff member,she told me she would refund this to me. The staff are very nice in this hotel and very helpful but I think The Stewart just needs a good bit of TLC.

I have stayed at the Stewart three times for a business hotel trade show. I have stayed in a 1 bedroom. It is clean and everyone is very helpful. Beside that, the rooms can be quite large, depending on which one you get. The 1 bedroom I stayed in had two bathrooms, which was really great. I especially appreciated the doorman because i had a ton of stuff to unload and a big car. he was so helpful and calmed me down immediately after trying to park it in NY traffic on 7th Ave!
Location is great and I even like the restaurant bar, Nigels. They make great drinks and have reasonable prices. The food is okay too, nothing fancy but fine in a pinch.

great staff - everybody from the front desk to the maids, bellmen, maintenance. lovely rooms. gorgeous view. perfect location. a bargain for what you get. love love love. I was there for business and It was wonderful to have a great room to unwind in after the day - and with my own amazing balcony <3
