Arrived less than an hour after landing at LaGuardia and catching a cab. Able to check in early- room was small but had plenty on room for two of us and our suitcases. Decor was cute, and loved the blackout shade. Nice size shower - easy to turn on and figure out- nice water pressure. Lots room for toiletries. Lots of shopping and restaurants near by. Felt safe walking with my tean daughter. Walked Daily to broadway for shows. Loved the 2nd floor had free coffee every morning there and grabbed free water from the frig- very convenient to have a place to just sit! Our last morning we walked to Grand Central easily to catch a train. Staff very helpful and nice. Already booked another stay.

The Library is very conveniently located, with a professional and polite staff. It is very clean and well maintained. The books in the rooms are a nice touch as is the availability of light snacks and drinks in the reading room. A note of caution- the petite room IS petite and ok for short stays for 1 person but not more.
