The Draper

My husband and I have worked in NYC for 25 years and lived in NYC for 11 years before we moved to Connecticut so we are very familiar with the City and the location of the Draper is very convenient for most attractions. It is close to the subway and is walking distance to Grand Central and Times Square. The rooms are very small but well-appointed and modern. The bed is comfortable. What I was absolutely blown away by was how very clean the room and the bathroom was. Like immaculately clean. And the room was extremely quiet for being in midtown - even the hallway outside our room was quiet - we did not hear doors slamming or people talking and we were very close to the elevators.

The Draper hotel is clean, well staffed with very friendly workers, in prime location, and provides prompt service. It has a boutique feel which I loved. The location is perfect. It’s just close enough to time square that you can walk to and from very easily. Close distance to Harold Square, Time Square, Central Park and all! It’s also right near broadway for shopping. The rooms are tight, but that is standard for NYC and the washroom was actually spacious for NYC. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable as well. The room was modern and the made good use of the space available (hooks, drawers under the bed, night stand, etc). There is free water in the lobby 24/7 which I loved. As a solo traveler, it was reassuring to see that in order to use the elevators at all times, you had to tap your key card. This added security was very much appreciated. And if you have the need for a late night snack, the street isn’t ‘sketchy’ so you feel comfortable walking at night.

Situated in mid-town, makes an ideal location to walk everywhere (if you in NYC, please walk to absorb all the amazing things happening around you). The hotel was under renovation but staff was courteous, attentive & friendly. The rooms are on smaller side, given the space crunch in NYC. Will stay here again on our next trip to the city.
