Nice hotel but associated restaurants are ridiculously expensive even for NYC, and they charge a “Facility Fee” for services like faxing (who faxes anymore?!), their gym, and “unlimited water” (whatever that means) whether you use them or not.

Just had a 5 night stay here with my son. The staff were so friendly, especially the door staff. The hotel itself is definitely value for money especially given how much time we actually spent there during our trip. Room service and clean towels every day and a cool lounge area on the first floor, great for some quiet time. Smile to go cafe on the ground floor was our go to for breakfast, great service and food at reasonable prices.
