My new favorite in nyc

From Tom on the overnight shift at the front desk to the day team as well (including the trainee with the glasses) everyone at the hotel was warm, helpful and kind. Sure, the rooms aren't huge, but how many suitcases do you bring anyway? The location can't be beat, and I love the fact the hotel name is nowhere to be found from the street.

Would highly recommend

The location one of the best parts of this hotel. You are steps away from luxury shops and restaurants. You have access to Zero Bond and a speak easy bar (located in the basement). The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, and the space was pretty good.

Hotel room has no real window to the outside The music from the bar downstairs was blasting late into the night preventing us to sleep Very expensive hotel for such a low quality At least either reduce your prices or offer a better service for such a cost
