Very well appointed room for the size. I feel like they thought of everything. Small room yet has a fridge and a sink area! Shower leaked all over the floor which was unfortunate. Wish check out had been at 12 instead of 11.

What a charming little place! They thought of everything. Pour over coffee in the room was the biggest hit for my crew. Nice staff. Sizable rooms for NYC and the property is decorated by local artists with developmental disabilities. Don’t forget to check out the view from the restaurant on top. I would love to stay here again!
