Great location, and the staff was friendly overall. However, one older individual working at the front desk had a bit of an attitude. The rest of the staff was very friendly. The hotel definitely needs some renovations, as it was a bit janky, but we still enjoyed our stay, mainly because of the location.
Staff is very kind and helpful and I love the location as I was in NYC to attend a specific event at a venue that was less than 2 miles away. Also I liked the short distance to walk to Central Park and restaurants nearby.

Wonderful ambience for me and my 7 year old daughter. Room was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. It seemed that its last renovation was fading. Small things needed maintenance but everything important worked. Great rooftop. Recommend the skirt steak
This location was extremely convenient. All the subway lines are within walking distance. The hotel itself was maintained great spacious rooms and the staff was excellent. Would absolutely stay here again.

The staff is great and super nice and the rooms are tired. Easy things could be done to update…. New caulk in the bathroom, paint, etc. overall a cute place in a nice part of town. Close to mall and park.
a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was spotless, and the location is absolutely amazing.
The beds are super comfortable I slept like a baby every night.
The bathroom is a bit on the smaller side, but that’s just a tiny detail because the shower is incredible! Powerful and relaxing, exactly what you need after a long day of exploring.
Highly recommended, and I would definitely stay here again!
