Great, reasonably priced hotel in Manhattan. Though my room was quite small, I still really enjoyed my stay. Close to public transit, walkable to parks, restaurants and shopping, I’d highly recommend.

A great hotel in a convenient spot, rooms are great, you have to realize this is an nyc hotel not a hotel in Orlando to all the people complaining about the size of rooms. Has excellent dining and entertainment options in the hotel. Great for young couples looking for a quick weekend getaway. Staff is excellent, property is showing a minor wear but overgall great. The Only other complaing is that the jackhammer was running nonstop for two days we were here, but thats NYC not on the hotel. It would have been nice for the hotel maybe to give us a warning...if they were even given a warning.
