The stay was EXCELLENT. I’ve been taking groups of students to New York every semester for 25 years and this was the best hotel we’ve stayed at yet. So clean and well run. And thank you for making check-in so easy! By far the fastest we’ve ever checked in, even though my group was larger than usual. Bravo.

Im not gonna lie, but the room was clean, and the bed felt like a big pillow. I didn't like the fact they didn't have a fridge or a microwave. Overall it was nice, and the location was perfect.

Lovely basic hotel, staff were really friendly, the reception area is so welcoming, room is comfy. Only problem I encountered was the shower thermostat didn't really work so it would sporadically get and stay really hot. But managed to make do and figure out how long you had before it got too hot.
