Room was kinda small but we are talking about New York City, Bathroom was VERY small, Water pressure on Sink to strong and to use Shower hose you had to be at least “5-10 ( to high) fridge in room not cold..Bed to ‘Stiff’ 1-5 rating…2…. But serves purpose if not spending time in it.. it’s ok…

The hotel has been a very impressive experience. Easy parking, friendly staff, clean room, swanky NYC feel, rooftop pool and cabanas and a Starbucks underneath hotel as well as a pharmacy in case you forget anything. 5 stars in our book! Beautiful neighborhood as well.

Thank you Sonia for your 5 out of 5 review!

What they do NOT tell you when you are booking your stay is that they no longer have any room service whatsoever, gone are the hotel bar and restaurant, not even a coffee maker in the room. NOTHING. At a hotel in New York City! Whoever is running this hotel is running it into the ground.This used to be my go-to hotel in the city but I will not be back. There are plenty of places I'd rather explore.
