Great value!
Very nice hotel for the cost - a gem in midtown. The rooms were spacious but did not match the photos in terms of windows, no robes, and the lighting in the hallways and rooms was kinda dim. Overall, great value and great stay.

It is an historic building that is well maintained and updated. Rooms are small but it is NYC and an older building which is status quo. It takes forever to get a car from the valet. The valet ticket says to allow 40 minutes. We didn't notice that at first and was late getting to our venue.

Good, but no water?
Great location. Only issue was that the hotel did not have a water dispenser in the building, so you were forced to purchase bottled water from street vendors, or pay for the bottled water placed in the mini fridge.

Great hotel, quiet room and clean. The area around the hotel is quite busy and dirty but subway lines are readily accessible. Outside noise is rarely heard from the room.

The room was quite small, but it’s Manhattan so it’s to be expected. Make sure to ask for a city view unless you want to stare at a brick wall.
Location is great, and the staff is very friendly/helpful. Overall I had a good experience and would recommend.

The room was much smaller than it seemed in photos. No robes, limited toiletries, window faced a brick wall, elevator was iffy! Then I had an unexpected charge that I had to dispute with my bank because they did not have a manager I could speak to.
