Great stay, clean and well appointed, they had space heaters, fan, ironing board, etc all in the room without asking. There was a big walk in closet which was great. Bed was really comfy. I loved that they had fresh popped popcorn in the lobby nightly and coffee 24/7 complementary- nice touch. Staff was friendly.

The room was spacious and spotless. It appeared to have been recently updated. Staff was very friendly and helpful.the location was also perfect- right next ro ynion square and a short walking distance to theaters and museums. I had two issues during the stay. First, the ceiling fan was not working when i arrived. We let staff know and it was quickly resolved. Second, after returning from a concert, I discovered that the television was not working. The front desk sent someone to come up and fix it. Unfortunately, the housekeeping/maintenance man was unable to fix it. I was told that i would receive a small discount because of this issue, but when i checked out, the front desk had not been informed. It is unclear if I will receive this credit or not. Had the televison been functional i would have given 5 stars
