The service was excellent. Comfortable and clean accommodations in the middle of midtown. The rooms are relatively small and not equipped with a fridge, etc but it was an overall great experience and would recommend.

This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of great places to visit. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the staff are super friendly, caring and accommodating. I expected to need ear plugs to sleep because of the city noise, but it was surprisingly quiet when we stayed. It was perfect for us!

Perfect location, large room

Hotel is in perfect location! Room is big relatively to NY, renovated, staff extremely nice. Bathroom was a little small especially the sink area and there is no real closet but due to location room size and great staff I’m adding it to my favourites in NY!
