Comfortable, fast check in and quiet!!
I will be staying here again. Nice sized room for the city, great location, quiet, never had to wait for the elevator, close to theaters, and the rooms must be well insulated I never once heard people in the hallways.

Excellent Stay
My friends and I were looking for a hotel room that could accommodate 4 people, and had at least 1.5 bathrooms. We found a room at this hotel and decided to book based off the good reviews. We were worried the hotel was outdated based on the photos. I’m so glad we decided to book it anyways!
Our stay was great! The hotel was in a great location. Our room was cozy and comfortable, and had plenty of space for all 4 of us! We booked the room with 1.5 bathrooms and that was clutch for all 4 of us to have space to get ready without being in the way. The hotel was very cute and quiet. The staff was very friendly as well.
I’d absolutely stay at this hotel again the next time that I am in NYC!

Middle of the road rooms, but big for NYC!
Room size is great, especially for NYC. It is an older property, but has been maintained fairly well. Some age & distress showing. Was disappointed to see the restaurant & bar it says it has is a indian restaurant next door. Would maybe stay there again as I think the big room size was nice.
