Rooms are small but that is expected in NYC. The bed was very comfortable. The floor (3d) was quite loud with street noise and party goers at night. The staff were very professional. The electrical controls in the rooms are quite baffling. We kept accidentally pressing buttons that exposed our privacy (opening main blinds) or turned on too many lights and at one point we couldn’t get the bathroom light on at all. The bathroom is surrounded by tinted glass that can be seen through partially. There is no fan in the bathroom.

We had to change hotel stays at the last minute on a Saturday night and found this gem. The room and the whole vibe was appealing and comfortable. The contemporary, but warm and energetic atmosphere went well with a trip to NYC. And all of the public spaces, lobby, restaurants, etc helped make the hotel a true place to rest and rejuvenate before heading out. It lost a star from me because of the hidden fee of $45 per day. This was NOT in the Expedia description and only showed up on the receipt AFTER I made the purchase. I have seen in other comments that the hotel claims this is the fault of Expedia and not the hotel, but . . . come on . . . this is a known and solvable problem that brings down my whole perception of the business.
