Don’t be fooled by pictures of the lobby and roof

Pros- great location without the craziness of touristy Mid-Town. Near the park and billionaire row make it feel safe. Rooftop bar is nice but owned and operated by a completely different ownership. Con’s: rooms are really small, there was mold and missing grout in the bathroom all over. It was very dated in terms of the bathrooms. I was missing carpet in parts of the room. And peeling wallpaper. Trust me the bathrooms make you feel like you’re living in a slum.

This old girl is full of charm and character!
