Check-in is simple. Rooms are clean but expect nothing but towels and hand soap. No water. No coffee. No lotion. Corner room is very noisy when it’s windy out.

The staff was very nice, but this is a hotel that has outlived its splendor. You can see missing paint on the floorboards in rooms and the reception area. There is a bar, but no alcohol, glasses, or bartender- basically a ghost bar. For the amount we spent per night, I could have gone uptown with better facilities and room service. I definitely felt I overpaid.

The front desk staff was very nice and helpful throughout my stay, which I appreciated. However, the room’s cleanliness wasn’t up to expectations. It didn’t feel as well-maintained or clean.

I wouldn’t expect much from them if you need any assistance as they failed to respond to any messages and were very uncompromising. Read the reviews before thinking of booking here.

The stay was perfect: there was only 1 towel. Which was fine. But I hope I don’t get charged if there was supposed to be more. I was new to staying in NY so maybe it’s a thing there!

Two days in a row the Do Not Disturb card was on my door handle. And both days the cleaning staff ignored it and knocked. One time I was in the room a one time I was at the elevators. They do not respect the basic privacy that card requests. I won’t be staying there again. I can’t trust the staff to honor privacy.

We had the worst experience at this property. The first room had water damage and mold. After reporting to the desk, they moved us to a room that smelled like rotten food and hadn’t been cleaned. The staff apologized and we asked for a refund. Since we booked through Expedia, the staff could not refund but said they would allow when Expedia engaged. The ownership refunded part of our $ but kept nearly $400. It’s inappropriate for them to keep any part of our reservation since the property was so misrepresented in their advertising. Stay away from this dump.
