Worst stay I’ve ever had in NYC. I’ve stayed at this hotel several times before and it was always good. This past time they put me in a room that was facing directly to the street, loudest room I’ve ever stayed in my life. You could hear honking from outside ALL night. I asked them to switch me and the manager switched me to a room facing the exact same way but a few floors higher up. Had the exact same problem but they said that was the only other room they could switch me to. Customer service was absolutely terrible and they seem overwhelmed anytime I spoke to them.

I like how streamline the check-in process is; the amenities that are available downstairs on the ground level; have an access to the roof without having to stand in the line so long as you can show proof that you're a hotel guest/resident; the restaurant is on point; and, having been to Peru on at least one occasion, it felt like that there - and I found out the theme was Peruvian and was even more happy with my stay. Don't be fooled by the small size of the room - everything was really well appointed and you still feel like there's space to move. Lots of natural and unnatural lighting. If you have respectful neighbors, you won't be woken up by nonsense. Overall a great experience, and because of how good it was, this will be the only hotel that I stay in when I come to New York City.

It was a nice,clean hotel and close to a lot of places we wanted to go- it’s extremely loud Thursday, Friday and Saturday night with very young people waiting in line to go in the club, music blasting from the club. Complete chaos vibes! If you are into that you will have a great time, we were looking for more of a zen experience in the busy city. Housekeeping was great, the restaurant and coffee shop on the first floor were fantastic. All the staff was nice. We stayed in a loft room with a beautiful view. You can hear cars honking and sirens until the wee hours but the view is lovely of the city that never sleeps!
