Honestly I’m a bit surprises for a hotel that charges around $600 per night that the heat wasn’t working for the winter month. They brought a space heater but really kinda wild for a nice place like this. I travel a lot to New York and have been looking for a permanent hotel to stay at consistently so I’ll keep looking.

Rooms were clean, enough space for one night. Right in the heart of the city. I was there to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade and 38th was within walking distance to do so. Elevators are kind of slow, check in was a little delayed past the promised 4pm time, but not really an issue. The front desk staff was wonderful.

Check in was easy and quick. The room was a notch bigger than other NYC hotels. I wasn’t thrilled when we saw a cockroach in our room but we were able to kill it and never saw another. The hotel was convenient to where we needed to be and we were in a rush to get there.
