As someone who loves Korean food I picked a great hotel to stay in! The location, quality customer service and cleanliness stand out the most. I felt safe leaving at 1:30 am to get local Korean food and early morning walks for cafes were a joy. I would absolutely stay here again :)

7 Night Solo City Break

I chose this hotel from a well travelled family member recommendation. It was without doubt in an excellent location! Entrance to the subway was 100m away and it was a 10 minute walk from Grand Central. Empire State Building was equally a 10 minute walk. The bed was very comfortable and they service you room daily as standard, unlike other local hotels! I was staying for 7 nights and if I had to pick a negative it would be the insistance of a credit/debit card to the tune of $400 on arrival or they would not release the room to me, even though they had been paid through this site a fortnight in advance. I was informed that $200 was for the 'Locally collected mandatory fees/taxes*' on top of the similar amount already paid on purchase. The second $200 on top of the mandatory fees was for the security deposit. Just be sure your card can withstand such a hit on arrival or you may have difficulty. I was informed on leaving that the $200 security deposit would be returned to me via transfer and if it is an international bank account then it could take upwards of 3 weeks. A lovely hotel in a central location.
Nice rooftop area, it's not a bar. You can purchase one of 4 or 5 items from reception but you may wish to bring you own.

Disappointed Stay

The water pressure in our room was horrible, I complained about three times and nothing was done. Our refrigerator made a lot of noise. I come to NYC twice a year for business and I can in advance and request a room that I have stayed in before that was decent but they didn't accommodate. I stay at the hotel for the location only. Also, the rooms don't have enough outlets for today's day and age when we have to charge our devices, etc... The outlets that do exist are occupied with the lighting in the rooms.
