Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was nice, clean and quiet. Front staff was kind and friendly. Had a nice stay but had to come a day late due to a loss in the family. Was disheartened that the manager Selina did not respond to multiple emails regarding our having to come a day late due to attending a funeral. Was not necessary expecting any credits or fee nights but was disappointed and felt disrespected that our outreach was not acknowledged or responded to. We will not be going back due to this reason.

There wasn't any free breakfast at the hotel. Outside was a bit out with the police and fire department. The hotel was overall a nice NYC stay. Very clean, stylish, and the staff was very friendly.

AC doesn’t work for 5 days from the six we were on. Room wasn’t cleaned everyday and even not been cleaned for three days until I called them and ask them to come over now. Smallest room I have ever been on. Just a bad hotel with a good location. Not VFM

Hotel was in an excellent spot for exploring. Only a few minutes from the Empire State Building and a 15 minute walk to Macy’s and even Summit One on Vanderbilt. We never ate in the hotel, so can’t comment on the food. It’s in a great location for lots of Korean and Japanese restaurants as well. Very handy for the Metro, which is literally a 2 minute walk from the front door.
