This place was the perfect location for all the touristy areas. Close nearby no shortage of things to do. Downfall. Charge an activity fee but, no offering. WiFi barely worked and the gym was a sho box with a couple dumbells. Should r be considered a gym. What other offerings? $50 a night for what? Room was in Ok shape. Lighting was minimal. No fridge and plugs popping out of walls. Couple bugs and hair found in bathroom. Just chopped it up to being in NY. Also door lock was broke and they weren’t too concerned about it. Overall loved location and staff in general good.

We had a lot of issues and complained several times to the staff. We did not get a single problem resolved. The door lock did not work and everytime we wanted to get in the room we had to ask someone to open the door. The bathroom seat was not set. The fan was not working. The walls were pealed. And on top of it the staff is rude and theyre reply to the issue is go complain about it online. Imagine not being able to get in your room before any other issues … and not even an apology, instead rude comments … no comments

The hotel is horrible we had no heat and Expedia said they couldn’t do anything. No heat in nyc in Dec is illegal. The hotel offered to move us to a different room with two twin beds I said no bc I’m here with my girlfriend. Finally with two nights left after speaking to another manager they offered to move us to a room with heat and a queen bed I said no bc wend been there for 5 days packing to move rooms at that point would be like packing to go home we spread out so much. The last night there it was so cold we had to use one of the extra blankets (I had to ask them for) over the window ac unit along with every towel in the room just to stop the wind from blowing across the bed. This is the woest hotel experience I’ve ever had and I’ve stayed in hostile. I’d choose a rat infested dumpster over this hotel
Ac unit they keep insisting had heat it didnt
How the ac unit was in the windw(plastic and wood ) no I sulation
Ceiling falling apart
Where the non existent heat should have been controlled

Location was fantastic! Walkable and central to everything (midtown) within 5mins to Times Square or 35mins to Chelsea Market. Downfall was the fan in the window was noisy as the rooms were very hot and A/C unit shows it goes down to 64deg but never cooled the room. This also let in a lot of the sirens, honks and road noise. One morning we didn’t have hot water and when I tried to call down to the front desk the phone in the room didn’t work. Non of the three ice machines worked so we had to get our tiny bucket filled at the front desk. And there’s no refrigerator in the room. But the coffee pod/maker in the room was decent. Also, the bathroom fan was on a sensor so in the middle of the night if you needed to use it there was a nightlight that automatically came on to assist your eyes but the fan was loud and went on for a little bit. Personally I wouldn’t book at this hotel again because of the lack of sleep we got from all of the disturbances but if you’re looking for walkable hotel and somewhat reasonable price just be aware to bring ear plugs and buy ice for the room.
