Couldn’t sleep for 4 nights with the club downstairs plus people fighting outside the hotel There is no noise cancellation on the windows and staff was not accommodating when I asked to be change with a room in the back…the manager on duties actually asked me if I wanted to check out…! Finally the last two days they moved us in the back of the building The worst experience ever

Run down noisy property with poor showers

Dark, uncomfortable hotel. Loud noise blasting throughout every public space. No water pressure in showers and it kept alternating between hot and scalding. Poor room controls and every time you turn on light the curtain goes up regardless of whether one wants it or not. A/C not working well. No quiet place for zoom calls. One of the worst hotels I have stayed in for this price. Lobby is full of bunch of kids like a wework space.

This was a lovely hotel and the room was quite spacious for New York! We had a loft so the windows were large with automatic shades. it was great. The rooftop bar was fun (went during the day) and the coffee shop made a great latte. The hotel was very modern and had lots of places to sit and get some work done with both private spaces and where groups could meet. The area around the hotel was full of shops and restaurants. My only downside was all the pets, I am a dog person so I don't mind but a few of the elevators did smell.
