We came to NY to celebrate my birthday and the staff surprised us and decorated the room with balloons and soda and snacks and towels folded like elefants. It was awesome!
Limited breakfast options. The location is fine, but there’s nowhere for water refills unless you go all the long way to downstairs. Should have been a water refill station for each floor.  Two bottles of water were far from being sufficient. 
I’ve been returning to this immaculate Hampton inn location again and again over the years and it seems to both maintain its original look and feel while still being fresh, modern, and easily accessible , a short block from Grand Central. Staff is courteous and helpful always !
Thanks Hampton inn Grand Central for another lovely stay !
