Our one-bedroom apartment was immaculately cleaned, the bed and furniture was comfortable, the linens were fresh and cozy. It was a quiet and peaceful stay in a nice neighborhood. We greatly enjoyed our dinner at Vintage Green, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant which has an incredible view of the Empire State Building. All staff members of the hotel and restaurant were very friendly and polite. I’d definitely stay and dine here again!

I honestly don’t know who leaves 10/10 reviews for this place. It felt like 3* hotel. Both of our rooms had very outdated furniture and bathrooms, and the view was terrible for 1 of our rooms. The room temperature was extremely uncomfortable 25°C with no way to lower it unless we opened the windows, which meant listening to a loud furnace all night. Overall, we were disappointed and will not be returning to this hotel. Positive notes: The location is convenient, nice lobby, cozy restaurant and the staff were very friendly.

I won’t stay here again as the exhaust vent in the bathroom was packed with large amounts of dust (mold), my TV didn’t work, the WiFi was ridiculously slow, and the plug for the coffee didn’t work. I did sleep well and it was quiet.

Had an amazing stay! The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Favorite part was the private balcony with incredible views of the city. Staff were professional and friendly - they went out of their way to make sure we had a good experience and provided good recommendations of places to go nearby. I would definitely stay here again.
