Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Excellent location, right in the action, a block to 5th ave and tons of restaurants and bars. Only a few rooms in the hotel have been renovated to look like the pictures, mine was not, looked like it was renovated in 1970, but it was clean, no mold, no bugs. Bed was firm but comfortable, smart tv and good A/C. Big issue for me was no mini fridge. Ivan the manager was awesome, very helpful and kind. Come to party or bring earplugs, the nightclub next door gets going around 1130pm and runs until 6am, fortunately they don’t have big bass subs so earplugs actually work

Estuve solo 2 noches, para mi familia excelente. Solo que por la cercanía de la zona turística se escucha música hasta muy de madrugada, que en lo personal no me molestó, además de que llegábamos muy cansados solo a dormir
