I was very disappointed with this hotel. For the price we paid I had much higher expectations. I arranged through the hotel to be picked up from the airport. They forgot about us and didn’t show up for an hour yet we were still charged full price by the cab company. I’m not sure if the hotel or the cab company was at fault because neither took ownership. The hotel attendant did give us a room upgrade and that is the only reason I’m giving this hotel two stars. The staff was very nice. As far as the hotel goes, it’s outdated the room was not that clean. The full wall of windows made it very drafty. I guess the windows need to be sealed. The walls have scratches and scuffs on it and the carpet was really gross and dingy. They give you a $25 breakfast voucher for one person per day and the food at the restaurant below the hotel was not that great and super expensive. You have to pay the extra taxes and tip so the meal is not exactly free. Again I’m only giving this hotel two stars because the hotel staff was very nice and friendly. I would not recommend this hotel or stay there again.

Nice staff, very clean and spacious room, lower floors have a balcony. Fridge and microwave was great, as was large desk and big TV. Location is just a few blocks from many subway lines and shops. A bit pricey during the holidays with limited amenities and small hotel foot print, but that’s nyc.

Rooms are way too dark, no one was at the valet or front desk when I arrived (6pm). The two tvs in our room were in close proximity to each other so when you turned one on or off the other turned on or off. We had to sleep with one tv on both nights because of this. Also, the luggage trolleys need to be replaced. Staff was helpful in responding to anything we needed (lamp/robe/water) but wouldn’t stay there again.
