Comfortable
I stayed at this particular hotel out of convenience (wife's father was staying here on business). I found the hotel to be very comfortable and quiet. For the price, I would expect something closer to a 5-star. Nonetheless, if on business, I would stay here again.

Zen on Park Ave
The Kitano is a very easy and relaxed hotel. Checkin is quiet and efficient, a few steps from the door. Lobby is comfortable and interesting with a great large sculpture of a dog by Botero. Great art around the hotel floors, rooms very Zen like with great beds and some a view of Park Ave. Small cocktail lounge on mezzanine with very friendly bar tenders, sushi hordeurves and a great view of park ave. Staff is dedicated to se4rvice.The restaurant has a super breakfast buffet, very good food and there is an authentic Japanese restaurant in the basement. Always able to get a cab immediately and the neighbourhood is very interesting to stroll around. It is an absolutely no hassle hotel, conveninet to uptown and downtown. Oh, and they have a piano player in the bar and a Japanese Jazz band on the weekends. My favourite New York hideaway.
