Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center

Conveniently located at 41st and Madison, just a block away from Bryant Park, the public library, the 42nd street subway stop and 5th Avenue shopping. The 2nd floor lounge is a quiet spot to reset with complimentary snacks, beverages and fruit. The rooms are typical New York small but cozy with the cute library theme. For those who receive complimentary breakfast at the adjacent Madison & Vine restaurant, the food is fine but the service is inconsistent and slow.

Beautiful property, excellent location for our needs and the staff were super friendly and helpful. First class hotel at its finest. Lovely courtyard to relax and eat some lunch.

Good location on upper east side. Be aware that there are 30+ levels. Initially booked into a “deluxe” room that was on 27th floor. Room was in desperate need of a renovation: smelly carpet, peeling laminate, no view. Remote from amenities. Bathrooms were nice. Moved to 7th floor next day: a different world (better). Bar/restaurant pricey and average. Night manager / day manager were like Jekyl and Hyde.
