Worst stay I’ve ever had in NYC. I’ve stayed at this hotel several times before and it was always good. This past time they put me in a room that was facing directly to the street, loudest room I’ve ever stayed in my life. You could hear honking from outside ALL night. I asked them to switch me and the manager switched me to a room facing the exact same way but a few floors higher up. Had the exact same problem but they said that was the only other room they could switch me to. Customer service was absolutely terrible and they seem overwhelmed anytime I spoke to them.

Daryl, Jersey City

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I like how streamline the check-in process is; the amenities that are available downstairs on the ground level; have an access to the roof without having to stand in the line so long as you can show proof that you're a hotel guest/resident; the restaurant is on point; and, having been to Peru on at least one occasion, it felt like that there - and I found out the theme was Peruvian and was even more happy with my stay. Don't be fooled by the small size of the room - everything was really well appointed and you still feel like there's space to move. Lots of natural and unnatural lighting. If you have respectful neighbors, you won't be woken up by nonsense. Overall a great experience, and because of how good it was, this will be the only hotel that I stay in when I come to New York City.
