Sooooo not worth the money. Room was small and not well taken care of. Chips on the wood and vinyl wallpaper. Gym was dirty and not well taken care of. Very limiting. Room was not black out curtains. Room was not sound proofed. You could hear everything going on. Tv was basic channels and only sometimes worked. Afternoon staff a girl and guy were lovely. But overnight girl was not. There wasn’t even a trash can in the room, I’ve never seen that before. Bed was comfy. Location is good if that’s the area you need to be in. No rooms have tubs which as a bath post work girlie sucked too. Glad it was a work stay and not personal. I would have been so upset and heartbroken had I spent my own money on this place.

The person who checked me in was very rude. I arrived early and they said the room wasn’t ready. He told me to call in 1 hour to see if room was ready I explained multiple times that the phone line was down and I showed him that the calls were not going through. He said he knew yet still told me to call the hotel. Then he said he would call from his personal phone when hotel was ready. He never called.

Quick and efficient check-in was much appreciated. Same true at checkout. Beautiful, comfortable lobby. Excellent location across from Lincoln Center. The problem was the room; only partially renovated. Bathroom renovated, but very small. Rain shower head very high. Could not be adjusted by wife which resulted in water being sprayed all over bathroom. Need instructions how to operate shower wand. Not at all intuitive. Furniture in room quite old and chipped in numerous spots. HVAC and windowsills in serious need of painting. Same true of baseboard. Wallpaper relatively new and in good shape, but odd design. Carpet pulled apart at seams in two spots. Heat didn't work. Had to call to fix. Very friendly guy showed up quickly and fixed it (fortunately). Great view of Lincoln Center out window, but location meant it was a bit noisy. Amenities actually decent, but safe so high in closet (actually a rickety armoire) that wife couldn't reach it. Very frustrating room. The idea is there, but it is just not well executed (or perhaps incomplete). Strongly recommend getting a superior room or larger. The standard room would be very small. No restaurant, although not really needed given the location. I don't recall a fitness room either.

The entire experience at the hotel was not great. I arrived early in the morning around 9am, and the man at the front desk had very little interest in helping me in any way. I acknowledged I was early and asked if there was a chance I could get a room earlier than the 3pm check in. He said he couldn't promise anything (understandable) and told me I'd get a text. He didn't even bother to proactively tell me where I could stow my bags or if there was a bathroom I could use. I had to ask and it felt like I was annoying him by asking.At about 1pm, when I hadn't received a text, I went back to the hotel and asked. The same person looked around and said no, nothing was ready. I, again, asked if there was anything he could do and he basically shrugged. So I went and sat in the lobby and for the next hour, I noticed a lot of people checking in and being given room keys. I asked again at 2:15pm and he told me rooms are pre-assigned and they simply don't reassign them. I felt like I had to beg and plead and he begrudgingly told me he'd see if he could move something. He did. And I was able to check in. I want to acknowledge that I am fully aware that I arrived early and I did not expect to be given a room at 9. But clearly, they had rooms available at 1 and later, so why not try to actually accommodate a guest?The room itself was in terrible shape with cracks in the ceiling and torn carpeting. Just wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Overall not a bad hotel or anything. But the pictures are misleading. My colleague and I both stayed there and the AC didn’t work nor did the heat in both rooms. I’m sure it was just a bad coincidence. Staff was lovely.
