My room was clean but it lacked some things I consider basic. no lotion or microwave and room was very cold even with temp set to 80, it just did not get warm. staff super nice/friendly and bar made great drinks. too cold for rooftop bar. never ate any food at this hotel just got coffee which was nice and hot. location is great, easy to get where we needed to go. fridge is super small and i thought i was booking a double bed room after we arrived I was told no rooms have 2 queen beds-got close to my daughter this trip!

Our first room had a pest issue that was dealt with quickly but was dark in the room, the lights was not particular bright at all. Our 2nd room there was several minor faults in the toom that i expect to nit be there for the type of hotel. A broken dimmer switch, burnt toile seat lid, broken slats on the blinds. And the lights were still dingy dark and poorly lit up. Staff were friendly and hotel clean and tidy..

They slapped a 240$ “service fee” for 6 nights (40$ a day) without telling me that before hand. Great customer service otherwise, the guys in the lobby are really cool and helpful people. some issues with the hotel was it was below 30° outside and our window was broken so the room was freezing and never came to fix it. If youre not an early riser, you get a free alarm from the cleaning service beginning to clean around 8am, letting doors slam behind them and bumping walls. Its a decent location. Average of a 20min subway ride anywhere uptown but youre in soho and close to grenwhich so theres alot of great stuff there. The fitness center on site was nice to have. The brokenshaker is a great rooftop bar with reasonable prices, and the breakfast spot downstairs was really good.

The hotel was absolutely terrible. I checked in on my birthday and someone sent me cupcakes, the refrigerator in the room did not work and the cupcakes were spoiled. The heat in my room did not work the whole night - the thermostat showed the room was 40 degrees. The hotel staff brought a space heater but it got so bad I had to leave the hotel in. the middle of the night. My room was also right outside the elevator and was so loud the entire time. HORRIBLE stay. I checked out early and they told me they would refund me.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was friendly, but for the love of God, do not let them put you on the 17th floor. Out room shook from the bar above us until 12, or 1 depending on the day. It was so loud, especially for the person on the bunk bed, mere feet away from a dance club. Main light was flickering so it was unusable, room was cold even after adjusting temperature.
