This is the place to stay....

This hotel offers the largest rooms with a kitchen for the money in NYC. Get one of the suites with the patio. Go to Madre downstairs for an excellent brunch. Highly recommend the french toast.

My daughter had surgery and the staff was very helpful. They extended our stay without moving us from our room. Helped tremendously. They honored our request to have big windows with sunlight etc. This was my third stay and will definitely stay again!

Do not stay at this hotel. The staff is rude, it has a musty smell and the rooms look out onto a cement wall. I did not feel safe here and switched hotels.

Arrived after 10pm coming from Manhattan. Circled around the area for more than one hour finding no available street parking spot. The parking garage in the area were also totally filled. Ended up not checking in this hotel and had to leave and find other staying places. Totally wasted the time and money.

Stayed in a lower level “deluxe studio suite” with Patio. More bomb shelter than a nice place to stay, very little natural light. Patio is a joke and is very, very small. Found a cockroach in the bathroom sink one morning. Another morning was awoken by an 6 a.m. alarm caused by an irate delivery person trying to open an emergency exit. Would not recommend. Very expensive for the experience. Their sister hotel, The Box, is much nicer and just down the street.

Great location, very clean and comfortable. Nice to have a kitchenette although could be a little better equipped. The bed was on the noisy side if you’re not just sleeping in it. Would recommend for a solo traveller, maybe check elsewhere if you’re looking for romance.

Lovely property, things that should be on their website should be where parking is available as the hotel does not have parking. Ask for a hour extra check out was told there is a cost involved.

Friendly staff, early check-in (fee-based), very clean, safe neighborhood and accessible to many things (including a nice corner market) I would have chosen five stars for every question, but the app kept removing the checked stars.
