Ok, but some quirks.

Stayed here 4 nights as it was affordable and reasonably close to Hunters Point where my daughter lives. First quirk was getting a text message asking me to repeat all the info in my reservation - including credit card info. Blew that off only to find when I arrived at the hotel the person at the reg counter said I still had to do it to check in. This ain’t Citizen M! Next was the room. Small and comfortable all things considered although some floor planks were damaged. No closet though. Only a hangar rack with a deck for shoes and bags.problem being the refrigerator took up half the rack for a bag. Finally the bathroom. Only a shower, which is fine, but why have a bath spigot that you have to divert from if it’s exclusively a shower. Weird.

My partner and I tried to stay at this hotel during a trip to NYC. I say “tried,” because the instant we walked into the room, we were hit by a wave of an eye-watering chemical smell. It was so strong that both of us began to feel dizzy and nauseated. We located the source — an air freshener on the clothing rack — and returned it to the front desk, and then we attempted to air out the room by opening the windows and running the fan. However, the smell pervaded every crack and crevice in the room and despite our best attempts to fumigate it over the next few hours, we were unable to remove the smell. My partner — who has a chronic condition where she is sensitive to certain artificial fragrances — started experiencing such severe nausea, dizziness, and chills from the chemicals that we had to leave the hotel at 12am our first night. The front desk staff were kind and accommodating, and patiently worked with the Expedia staff to help us end our reservation early. As we were entering and leaving, we could not help but notice that the smell also lingered the lobby and breakfast area. I would recommend that this hotel rethink its use of such harsh chemical cleaners and fragrances. These kinds of chemicals can trigger chronic illness flare-ups and irritate the airways and eyes of workers and guests. It made me and my partner wonder if there were cleanliness or safety issues the hotel is trying to cover up by using such strong artificial products.

Despite being in the city, it was clean, well-kept, and pretty quiet. The room is ample enough for a single person, and the mini fridge comes in handy. It was a plus for the breakfast, and I believe there was a restaurant above if you wanted. The subway is a literal 5 minute or less walk from the hotel, making it super accessible to get anywhere in NYC. I loved it here! I'll definitely stay here again when I visit NYC in another time. 100% recommend!
