Monique

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Extremely inconsistent and poorly managed hotel. I was repeatedly locked out of my room and given conflicting information about charges and card holds - even when I showed proof directly from my bank and was accused of lying. Staff communication was unprofessional, and some refused to give their names while male being openly being confrontational and obstructive. After filing a formal complaint, I was told there would be an “investigation,” and response within 48 hours, but this has not been the case. There was no follow-up, no accountability, and no apology. The hotel completely ignored the issues and failed to address any part of my experience. One of the most unprofessional and inconsistent hotel stays I’ve had. I strongly recommend avoiding this property.

The most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in at a hotel! Noise levels can be a little high near the train, but it’s NYC, so some rattling is to be expected.

The hotel and room were spacious and nice. Having the metro stop one away was so convenient. Breakfast was the only negative: not very good (eggs were oversalted and pancakes were overcooked.

Our room was excellent - the bed and shower in particular. The room was quiet, the walls thick between rooms, electronic keys and door notices, and tasteful furniture and lighting. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was quiet but central.
