We loved the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful and room was clean. Our room faced the street and there was a lot of construction type noise every night between 3 and 5 am. So I would ask for a room that does not face the street if you are a light sleeper.

My stay at this hotel was an utter disappointment and resulted in unnecessary damage to my property. The single biggest issue was the air conditioning unit, which was severely leaking. Not only did it create a slip hazard on the floor, but it dripped relentlessly right onto my luggage and directly onto a significant portion of my clothes. Several items were completely soaked and are now stained, requiring immediate and expensive dry cleaning. This is completely unacceptable for any functioning hotel room.

BED BUGS! Before I reserve a hotel room, I always check the reviews to scour for any post about bedbugs. I did not find any for this particular hotel. I chose this hotel because of its option for valet which parking in New York is hard to come by. In the morning, we had evidence of bedbugs. We packed all of our belongings into plastic bags and move to another room. After coming back to the room being out all day, we checked the space and found yet again evidence of bedbugs specifically pupa. We didn’t transfer them from room to room because our stuff stayed in plastic bags and they wouldn’t have magically made it to the new bed and started laying eggs. It was late and we got transferred to yet another room but then told that room was having maintenance done on it the next day so we had to go to yet again another room. Perhaps that maintenance was spraying for bedbugs? At this point, we were uncomfortable staying at the hotel, so we decided to check out early And head home. The hotel management is ignoring my phone calls and not responding to messages. They must know there’s a problem and they are avoiding it.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable. But there was one small window overlooking the internal airshaft. I had to look way up to see the sky. It was not a good value for the price.
