Excellent location - one block from subway station. Easily walkable to local restaurants. Check in was a breeze. Some reviews indicated there was heavy street noise so we asked for a room on a higher floor. Just had to contend with an occasional crying baby in the hallway. Also asked for a refrigerator, no added cost. Very clean room, smaller than expected but figured it’s NYC. Continetal breakfast included and 24 hr coffee and tea station. Highly recommend!

False advertisement!!!!!! 1. The parking lot attendant doesn’t speak English. 2. Receptionists were very unfriendly. I felt like I was checking in to a cheap motel and NOT a hotel. 3. The rooms are cold, the windows are not well sealed and are covered with ceiling to floor curtains to mask the windows poor conditions and cold draft. I had to set the temperature to 80 degrees in the room to feel comfortable. 4. The hotel advertises a terrace, there is NO terrace. There is a back door exit with what they call a patio but it’s really a ramp with a smoking area. I specifically booked this room for the terrace so I was HIGHLY disappointed. 5. Not to mention it was raining and ALL of the floors throughout the building were wet with no one to clean them up. NEVER AGAIN !
