Loved the hotel and the location. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Love the scent of the toiletries provided in the bathroom. A little surprised that there was no coffeemaker in the room! That would have made it PERFECT!

Great location, very convenient. Wonderful staff.
The room was dated. The property definitely could use a refresh, especially given the nightly rate. Nevertheless, I would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Location is what you pay for here. The hotel is pretty run down. The cleanliness of the room could always be better. Stains and such.
The only reason I stay here is that it’s a stones throw from The Met Opera.

Working in the arts, a very convenient hotel for Lincoln Center and even Carnegie Hall. Close to subway artistries as well.
Christopher

The hotel was fine. I was happy to see the room really was handicapped friendly. The hallways and the rooms were dark. The A/C unit was straining to keep up. While the outside temp was a pleasant 72 we had to set the thermostat on 60 degrees just to get the room temp to 72.
And not unlike other hotels in NYC there was no coffee maker in the room.

The gentleman who checked us in was kind of rude. He was in the middle of checking us in and took a phone call and left us just standing there. The shade in the room was broken and the bathroom was kind of dirty. Not worth what I paid. Just an okay stay.
