Honestly I’m a bit surprises for a hotel that charges around $600 per night that the heat wasn’t working for the winter month. They brought a space heater but really kinda wild for a nice place like this. I travel a lot to New York and have been looking for a permanent hotel to stay at consistently so I’ll keep looking.

Rooms were clean, enough space for one night. Right in the heart of the city. I was there to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade and 38th was within walking distance to do so. Elevators are kind of slow, check in was a little delayed past the promised 4pm time, but not really an issue. The front desk staff was wonderful.

Check in was easy and quick. The room was a notch bigger than other NYC hotels. I wasn’t thrilled when we saw a cockroach in our room but we were able to kill it and never saw another. The hotel was convenient to where we needed to be and we were in a rush to get there.

Room was nice, clean and quiet. Front staff was kind and friendly. Had a nice stay but had to come a day late due to a loss in the family. Was disheartened that the manager Selina did not respond to multiple emails regarding our having to come a day late due to attending a funeral. Was not necessary expecting any credits or fee nights but was disappointed and felt disrespected that our outreach was not acknowledged or responded to. We will not be going back due to this reason.

There wasn't any free breakfast at the hotel. Outside was a bit out with the police and fire department. The hotel was overall a nice NYC stay. Very clean, stylish, and the staff was very friendly.
