I loved the cookie I was given at check in it’s really good. I also loved the welcome Chloe on the tv screen when I walked in it was a nice touch. The only dislike was no microwave in the room and the fact that the ones they do have in the lobby do not work. Also the elevator buttons should get fixed as it doesn’t always stop on the floor you select bc it does not light up.

We stay here everytime we go to New York and as always they give us excellent service.(free cookies help 😀). The food at their restaurant isnt the best, but we're usually trying out the food around the city instead of stay inside.

Quick check in. Only two elevators and over twenty floors resulted in long wait times. There’s a night club in the next building and we could hear the music on the third floor until 0200.

Only one working elevator. Small front desk area, which made it uncomfortable when everyone was trying to check in. Room wasn’t very clean. Anybody could get into the hotel so it wasn’t very safe. Size of the room was very small Compared to other New York City hotels

Staff was friendly, free breakfast buffet was decent, felt safe. Rooms were very small, there was 3 of us in a 2 bed room. We were very cramped, but I’m sure all hotel rooms are the same in NY. Would stay here again.

Found hairs in both beds that clearly were used by previous customers. Unfriendly staff. on 15th and 16th April, the Young man at the reception hung up the phone when I complained about the noise in the floor due to a large group of students staying during the weekend. Lifts are used by staff also, hence the wait for a lift can be 20 mins. Seriously poor & expensive Breakfast not value for money. Bar with a limited selection of drinks and very poor terrace at the entrance full of people smoking cannabis. The area is convenient and has few restaurants closely.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. They were able to offer early check-in when we arrived early in the day, which I very much appreciated. Rooms were comfortable and very clean.When we had an issue with opening the safe, someone came right away to help. Only two elevators, so sometimes we had to wait a few minutes, but not a big deal.

Great hotel for what we needed. Didn’t spend a great deal at the hotel as we were out sight seeing the majority of the time. Arrived to some spillage on the floor, bathroom door kept locking on its own (easy to resolve) had a few days of heavy rainfall and quickly realised there was no where to hang out clothes or even towels from showering. Hotel were quick and helpful with any issues, nothing was left unresolved for long due to their amazing maid service and also handy man. Lift was a very long wait. Seemed to hit every floor on the way up going past us every morning. Staff on the front desk were helpful with information and arranging a taxi for us to get to the airport.

I liked my room. I got the king penthouse suite with patio, but all the cushions were missing and the door would not stay shut. It was very windy and rainy and it woke me up twice swinging open scared me. Hope you get that fixed. Otherwise, clean and beautiful view.

A group of students arrived very early in the morning and would not stop the noise. Complaint at reception twice. A “clever” young man said there was nothing he could do hanging the phone down. Didn’t expect the lack of empathy or attention. So noisy I would not recommend it if you’re yet lagged or want to rest.

The positive first, it is central and close to subway and main mid town locations. The negatives, not really 4 stars, 3 stars at best, there was a constant sound in the room every 3 to 4 minutes like a motor which kept me up throughout the night, every night, room is tiny and only 1 seat for people, walls are paper thin too, Better off staying elsewhere

Bed was very comfortable. Room was very clean and the water pressure in the shower and hot water was excellent. Large bathroom for NYC. Staff were welcoming and courteous. Warm cookie on check in. Street block is quiet which is good for noise but a bit empty when walking at night on the street but the avenues are brighter and more activity. Only downside is slow elevator but would stay here again without hesitation.

First of all, this is New York City so it is bustling. The location is great because it puts you in the center of it all. Walking distance to Empire State Bldg. and other locations. Overall, the place is great. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, could use a little upgrade otherwise it was a great stay. Staff really set the place apart. Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I hope to return soon.
