Stayed here for 5 days in April and I really loved it. Staff were very friendly. Our room was clean and very comfy. It was my first time in NYC and I'm so happy we stayed here, it was honestly wonderful. The cafe in the front of the hotel was lovely too. I'd stay here again.

Overall good experience however, the pillows were very uncomfortable and the sheets felt a bit rough against my skin. I will definitely book another stay. The location is close to public transportation, shopping and dining.

Stayed here during my NYC trip and honestly had such a great experience. The hotel was clean, stylish, and actually felt calm after the chaos of the city outside. Staff was super kind and accommodating, the room was comfortable, and the location made getting around insanely easy. The vibe felt modern and cozy at the same time, which made coming back at night feel like a reset button after long days in the city. Would absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend it to anyone visiting NYC!

It was a great stay and a sweet hotel. All the staff I met were helpful and cordial. My room had an old-fashioned window seat, the bathroom door must have been the original. It was solid wood. The bathroom was very clean had a nice tub if you want a hot bath after pounding the cement. Well located, I would stay here again and totally recommend it.
