Very clean and great location. Friendly service. Room was very small but that was to be expected. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it if I was sharing the room with others since for example the bathroom is pretty close to the bed, but I think it is great for solo traveling. Appreciated the rain shower head. The hotel has a fun, hip vibe to it. I LOVED the rooftop.

I went to NYC with my son, this was a great place to rest our head. It is small, but perfect for just us two! Staff was friendly, it was a calm and quiet lobby and ambiance. Walking distance to Grand Central Station, 5 min walk!
