Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
the room was nice and confortable, but I had issues with the cleaning of the room. they didn't make the bed for 2 consecutive days and one day they didn't clean the bathroom. although I chose breakfast included, there was a limit of 15$ and the rest was on me. This is because it is served by an indipendent restaurant. Not a good surprise...

This place is a complete nightmare. The owner is having a giant party for his friends and there is a loud dj blasting dance music shaking my room. It's almost midnight and they will do nothing. Never ever stay here. Never. Over $600 and it is the worst place I have ever been to

Extremely inconsistent and poorly managed hotel. I was repeatedly locked out of my room and given conflicting information about charges and card holds - even when I showed proof directly from my bank and was accused of lying. Staff communication was unprofessional, and some refused to give their names while male being openly being confrontational and obstructive. After filing a formal complaint, I was told there would be an “investigation,” and response within 48 hours, but this has not been the case. There was no follow-up, no accountability, and no apology. The hotel completely ignored the issues and failed to address any part of my experience. One of the most unprofessional and inconsistent hotel stays I’ve had. I strongly recommend avoiding this property.

The most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in at a hotel! Noise levels can be a little high near the train, but it’s NYC, so some rattling is to be expected.
