AC doesn’t work for 5 days from the six we were on. Room wasn’t cleaned everyday and even not been cleaned for three days until I called them and ask them to come over now. Smallest room I have ever been on. Just a bad hotel with a good location. Not VFM

Hotel was in an excellent spot for exploring. Only a few minutes from the Empire State Building and a 15 minute walk to Macy’s and even Summit One on Vanderbilt. We never ate in the hotel, so can’t comment on the food. It’s in a great location for lots of Korean and Japanese restaurants as well. Very handy for the Metro, which is literally a 2 minute walk from the front door.

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.
