This hotel was beautiful and very clean, both our room and the lobby was stylish and chic. The location was great, easy to walk to Broadway theaters. This was a perfect hotel for a weekend in NYC. I will say that we had drinks in the bar once, and I felt like they were very overpriced, but it is New York. I would definitely stay here again
