At $500/night this is considered a bargain lodging. Good neighborhood. Nice people. Thank goodness the rooms were relatively clean, but tiny and especially the lightless dungeon where I spent the last two nights was a depressing disaster.

This is the cutest boutique hotel in a great location. The staff is 10/10. A shoutout to Xocera (sp?), Salem and David as they were all excellent, so kind, efficient and made us feel very welcome. Our only issue is the room was a little small for 3 people, but I realize this is a NYC issue. It's a very cozy room, just a little bit tricky when trying to get ready. But overall we loved this hotel.

Stayed in a King Bed room. Room was tiny and did not have a chair, only a bolster on which to sit. Bathroom sink was inset and the niche was maybe 24” wide. If you are tall or wide the sink will be very difficult to use. I am not very big and I was literally shoulder to shoulder in the niche. Services were above average. Great location and access to restaurants and support retail. As my wife said, it is very cute.
