Perfect location, large room
Hotel is in perfect location!
Room is big relatively to NY, renovated, staff extremely nice.
Bathroom was a little small especially the sink area and there is no real closet but due to location room size and great staff I’m adding it to my favourites in NY!

Great price for a large, ok room!
Have stayed many times at this hotel. Some minor irritating problems with the room, blinking lights, loud noises coming from pipes. Slow elevators. In all fairness we never brought up the problems with the front desk.
The room was very clean. And they let us check in early. Please keep up with the maintenance.

The hotel is wrapping up a major renovation and is quite charming.
We stayed in a standard King room. Plenty of room for two, but definitely no more. The room was updated, well-lit and bed was comfy.
The staff were friendly and eager to help with any requests.
Overall, a good stay in great location.
