Our 2 night visit at Motto was better than we hoped for. After a quick search we found this hotel that was a perfect
location for walking to the High Line, Chelsea galleries, restaurants (Eataly on 5th, Shake Shack on Madison) and jumping on the subways to the Met and MoMA. While we used to live in NYC (for 45 years) it was exciting to see the city from another perspective- the spectacular view from our floor to ceiling window from the 37th floor (Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, Manhattan skyline).
Also pleased with the easy curbside access, outdoor tables for meals and a sophisticated but comfortable bar and restaurant inside. The staff is very professional and friendly; when an unexpected glitch occurred it was resolved with speed and thoroughness.
Our room with King bed was simple but perfectly designed to be functional and comfortable. Nice design choices though our room didn't have a closet or chest of drawers which was fine with us but perhaps limiting if you have lots of stuff.
We would definitely stay here again. Not the usual hustle and bustle New York scene, just easy and just enough hip to feel it's different than most.
