Given the price, I was expecting more. The property feels outdated, with old rooms and an overall need for renovation. For the cost, I'd recommend exploring other options that offer better value and more modern amenities.

DO NOT STAY HERE! My room did not have a thermostat (ripped off the wall), smoke detector (missing), light switches were broken with wires coming out of them. They offered me another room and it was equally as bad. Additionally, the furniture in the lobby was ripped, paint was chipped off walls in the lobby and the hotel rooms. This place NEEDS to be inspected by the NYC fire department!!! They would not refund my money, I kept getting the run around from the front desk staff and night manager. I did not stay here and had to book a room for the weekend last minute at another hotel. Consider yourself warned!!! I would NEVER recommend this place!

The first room that I was given didn't have air conditioning, and the lamp over the bed bulb was out. Then I was transferred to another room where the in wall air conditioning unit ran noisy, moverover, the room has bad ant infestation.

Room not as advertised, definitely smaller than in the photo. Lifts are mostly out-of-service or being blocked by housekeeping. I was on the 14th floor and chose to take the stairs whenever I did not have my luggage. Staff are grossly disinterested in helping out guests. They also charge for baggage storage upon discharge. Location is excellent but for the price you're paying, go to Aura Times Square instead.

Great location if you just want a place to rest your head. Only one of three elevators worked on our checkout day and we had to walk down 14 flights of stairs. Not handicap accessible at all if that’s what you’re looking for. Bathroom didn’t have hand soap and I called the front desk asking for it, said they’d send someone up. Got back hours later, still no hand soap and front desk went to voicemail repeatedly. Every outlet was loose. Thermostat didn’t keep room cold, had a small window unit for air. But like I said.. if you’re in it for the location and solely the location, it will do.

The standard room is like a closet which was fine, there was no AC or heat we had the window open to let air move through the room, the property has done upgrades but they’re just falling apart. It a typical hotels for NYC we stay her often but the resort fee is out of control. $70 for two nights is a bit high.
