Nice hotel, the only concern is dining options at the hotel. Just a continental breakfast available for 20$. No bars or dining at hotel. Thankfully there are several dining options around. Early mornings not even coffee available.

Always a great place to stay. Staff at front desk are friendly and you get $10 worth of drinks/snacks of your choice e per day. I have stayed here several times before and I starting to notice the rooms are dated, particularly the bathrooms. But for nyc the rooms are large and the hotel is comfortable.

The only issue is that I booked with breakfast included with Expedia and the hotel does not have that?! I booked especially for the convenience of the free breakfast but none were included for 7 people?

Great service from staff. Super friendly manager and bellman. The location was very convenient. We literally walked everywhere but the subway was a short distance away as well. Our room was decent sized for the 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 teens. We would definitely stay again.
