This was a great location. It was close to public transportation and walking distance to many great locations. The room was large and inviting and the doormen were great with recommendations. It would be nice to have a lounge or restaurant on site, but there places in close proximity.

Cockroaches in this hotel

Cockroach crawling across the floor in the morning where my kids were sleeping. Gross! Caught it under a glass but those things are ridiculously fast. Front desk sent someone up who came and vacuumed it up.

We would easily make this our choice for future stays in NYC. It is within walking distance of the East River, MoMA, and many more cultural/historical sights. Plus, there is a great little restaurant two doors down that is PERFECT for breakfast.

Inspections are helpful

Was upgraded to a suite with balcony for an extra $100 / night. Suite had some facility issues like furniture on balcony was minimal and not representative of the photos. Blinds on 2 windows not functional and missing drawer and cabinet front.

Efficient, cost effective, but tired.

First time in this hotel, normally stay at the Barclay but wanted a bigger room and not to pay silly money. Suite was large and comfortable, amenities OK. This is not a high end hotel; very much mid range. Room was tired and dusting on surfaces was poorly done, as was cleaning of the bathroom. Felt a bit grotty. Electric blinds in the room were half broken. Generally the staff were nice and helpful. Saving grace was the competitive price for the room although we did book last minute. Less than 50/50 whether we would stay again as the hotel desperately needs some refurbishment and cleaning standards must be improved. At least the bar was in the process of being refurbished... This meant it was closed, but there's a very good alternative 2 doors down.

Would book again

Room was clean & pretty spacious. Our balcony didn’t have a chair & that’s all I’d recommend. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the shower because there wasn’t a door or shower curtains, so the water was splashing
