The rooms are well appointed, the location is excellent and the staff could not be friendlier and more accommodating. I called for late check in and had to push it a couple of times and the front desk was super nice about it. Overall a great choice for the price point .

Nice quirky little hotel in a good location away from the chaos of Time Square. But, please, for the love of no particular deity, install some ice machines!!

Location was excellent. Midtown Manhattan. Hotel room could have been better equipped. No microwave or coffee pot - no coffee in lobby so had to walk around the corner to Starbucks in early morning hours. Then couldn't warm food/coffee when it was cold - no microwave. No blankets in closet and heat was not on until we called to complain about the cold, front desk immediately sent someone to show us how to turn heater on. No information books in room to tell about hotel amenities, restaurant hours, fitness location, etc.

Received two double beds, not a queen like I had requested. Then I wAs Told I had actually received an upgrade and I should be thankful, well I wanted one bed for my husband and I, not two. Strange hold up at check in, took other guest up before us and blatantly lied about computers being down and irrelevant things, but I’m a concierge and I know what was up. Disappointed in this hotel, won’t ever go anywhere near it again. The room was also dirty and there’s no way it’s been used recently, was definitely put into some outdated dirty loud room. All I could hear was the construction being done on the front of the hotel. So I didn’t even get my gossip girl picture.
