Hi, me and my girl had an amazing time on the SUMMIT one Vanderbilt experience. It was my first time in New York and the first time going to an attraction like this one. We did a long line that tooks us up in the skyes and since we pass through the door we got amaze by the views and how everithing looked. The timeframe for all activities was very generous and the fact tha we could decide when to keep going was perfect to really get the view and the experience. The only not that great was the room of ballons due to there being way to many people at the same time and kids kiking the ballons. But appart from that all the view and the pictures they took for us was extremely great and a pleasant experience.

Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience! From the moment you step in, the journey is incredibly immersive, combining breathtaking views of the New York skyline with stunning architectural and mirrored installations. It truly feels like walking through a work of art suspended in the sky. The views of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are unparalleled. This is definitely one of the most unique observation decks I have ever visited and is well worth the ticket price. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any traveler visiting NYC—you won't regret making this a priority!

Everything about this hotel made my best friend and I's trip perfect! Nice trip to see Hamilton absolutely perfect the location was perfect. It's by one of the main subway entrances you need to get almost anywhere, free water bottles, comfy beds, pretty views and it's only a two minute walk to Times Square. everyone was very friendly and helpful too. I highly recommend!!!

The experience was what we expected once we got inside. We did not expect to stand in line for 2 hours just to get to Summit One and then wait in line again to get back down...we stood in line for over 3 hours for an experience that should have taken 2 hours total. The employee, Maria, was extremely rude when explaining that there was a long line to return to the ground floor. She let some people cut the line to get down the elevators and not others. It was very frustrating.

Summit One is beautiful and has great photo ops...however, the experience was less enjoyable than it should have been due to the staff running the venue...they're EXTREMELY bossy and rude...they were so controlling that I was in a bad mood before I got through the event. I would not pay to go there again and wouldn't recommend it to others either. There are other observation places in NYC that would hopefully treat you better.
