Awesome New York apartment vibe to give you easy access to upper and lower Manhattan. Next door to a cute donut shop with great coffee. Close to Subway for easy access to travel the city. The hotel was quiet, 3 blocks from the empire State building, and friendly staff. Would stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and appeared to have been recently refurbished, which made the stay feel fresh and comfortable. The beds were large and very comfortable, contributing to a good night’s rest. The only drawback was the noise from the busy street below, which was noticeable at times. Although we didn’t use them, the room was well equipped with a small electric stove, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, and a kitchen sink. It would be an excellent option for a longer self‑catering stay, but for us it was just a one‑night stop before continuing on to DC. We hope to book a longer stay next time. The staff, caretaker, and reception/manager were all friendly and courteous, which added positively to the overall experience.

A little tricky to check in (go into the building, pass the reception desk, and go to office number 2) and staff wasn’t in the office every time I needed them. Otherwise, the room was clean and as described and the location was perfect for my needs
