Hilton New York Grand Central at 304 East 42nd Street, New York, New York.

The staff was welcoming and gave us a nice quiet room on the 8th floor. The hotel is a historical property and had fun features like a pretty doorbell outside each room. Out room didn't have much of a view, but was very quiet as it was set back from the street. It was exceptionally quiet for a room with open windows in the city. The room didn't get a ton of outside light, but was pleasant enough during the day. I don't think there is any direct thermostat controls, so we kept cool with an open windows.I don't know what it would be like in summer though. They did have a nice whirlpool tub, an air purifier and a sound effect aromatherapy device that was fun to play with, but didn't act as an A/C. Nonetheless, we were comfortable and had a lovely stay.
