We have just come back from a 5 night stay, i was anxious as the reviews weren't good. But i had nothing to worry about as soon as i walked in every member of staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. We stayed in a junior suite which was lovely and spacious and clean, the beds are wonderful and soft. I would differently recommend this hotel.

The location was great but the hotel rooms were not the best. The first room had a pipe leak in the bathroom sink so we had to be moved to another room after the hotel could not fix the leak. The second room was an upgrade however it looked like they did not do a great job with cleaning it. There was still hair in the tub. The rooms were spacious and the location was great, but the rooms were run down. There was not ventilation in the bathroom so expect everything to be moist in there.

Clean room, nice location and friendly staff. If you parking over night, the valet is best option to go. Nearby garages charge 60-70$ and valet price was not too off from that. However the convenience was priceless.

The best thing there was the doorman on the days we stayed there I don’t know the name but he was friendly older gentleman who was helpful with our luggage storage and bringing it out The room was very dated had a musty smell We were on the fifth floor For the amount we paid the room could have been better I have lived in NYC and I visit there often and have stayed in many different hotels so I know I am not going to complain about the size or view ever but the room we were in was subpar The location was good The lobby restroom reached with a flight of stairs was without toilet paper and only one was functional with a line to go there The staff at the front desk the three days we were there were indiifferent uninterested and always seemed like they did not care
