I give it 5 stars, even though the heat in the room didn't work as they were repairing it, and it affected a few rooms. They took care of us, though right away. Everyone was so nice, room was very clean and quiet. A great energy in the lobby. People say hi to each other in the elevator. The restaurant attached to the hotel for breakfast was amazing. We'd definitely stay there again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful! The room was spotless every morning! I gave four stars instead of 5 because there was no heat in our room for the whole 3 nights we were there and sounded like the whole building was having issues as well. They did give us a space heater and extra blankets which was very nice. I would still recommend this hotel to anyone visiting NYC.

Hey guys, just some honest feedback here, in no particular order: 1. Hallways were extremely noisy - doors slamming at all times of the night 2. Toilet paper was gas station quality 3. A/C unit made a loud buzzer sound randomly at night once the heat hit the programmed temperature - loud enough to wake me up 4. Overall value just felt lacking for a $700 stay

i was so excited to stay here for the first time! i booked two rooms over a month in advance for my birthday. but i never got the chance. when we arrived, the agent at the front desk refused to check us in, look at our reservation number, or speak with us any further than directing us to take a seat and wait for the manager. he claimed that our reservation had been canceled. that was not true but for some reason, he insisted and when the manager finally appeared, he was also extremely rude and insisted i needed to "take it up with hotels.com" he would not hear anything i had to say. this hotel basically made an error, blamed it on me and then continued to dig their heels in. many hours later after i had already booked rooms at a different hotel and tried to decompress so as not to spend my entire vacation fuming about being treated so cruelly for no reason, the manager called me and apologized and acknowledged that the hotel had made an error. too little too late.
