Reviews

Sarah Aug 29, 2025 08:47:16 AM
Summary: Had a wonderful stay! The staff was accommodating, the room was clean, short walking distance to beautiful parts of the city, and the rooftop bar had a spectacular view!! Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in staying in Manhattan.
Aug 27, 2025 10:14:32 PM
Summary: The room was very dim, with a blinking foyer light and dark bathroom. There was a bad smell from the toilet, and basic amenities were missing—no kettle, coffee machine, mugs, or even paper cups. One power outlet didn’t work, and the shower curtain didn’t cover the whole area, causing water to spill. No view at all. Overall, poorly maintained and not worth the stay.

Summary: Very clean, great location.
Aug 22, 2025 09:33:46 AM
Summary: Very noisy. Hotel was over-crowded and booked to the max. Long wait for the elevators and for breakfast in the morning. Hotel bar was extremely loud and jam packed. I walked out without ordering a drink because there were no seats and it was far too loud. Not a place you can have a quiet drink and conversation. Room was also noisy. I had a corner king room on the 5th floor and it was like I was sleeping in the middle of a highway. All night there were loud trucks and busses going by. Do your best to get a high floor room to avoid the street noise. It was relentless and I did not sleep at all. The room itself was nice and had excellent decor and was clean. The hotel itself is also nice with excellent decor. It's just the noise!

Summary: The staff here have an INCREDIBLE vibe. So friendly, generous and helpful. Can’t recommend more. 7 stars
Aug 8, 2025 08:10:05 AM
Summary: We stayed in a bunk bed room Pros: room was clean, staff was friendly and generally helpful, bed was comfortable. Cons: there are no bright bulbs in the entire hotel. Hallways are dark and drab, room was dark, bathroom was dark. One of the handles on the bunk fell off in my (teen) daughter’s hand and she fell while climbing down from the top bunk. The bathroom has no where to put ANYTHING. 2 hooks on the back of door for towels and that is it. No other hooks, no countertop, no shelf. For anyone who wants to do more than brush your teeth- it’s an issue. The “desk” in the room is so tiny- it’s hardly deep enough to set a laptop on. It’s too bad because with a a few changes it could be so much better!
Matthew Jul 31, 2025 08:57:59 AM
Summary: no complaints what so ever and the service was VERY accommodating and appreciated, the service went out of their way several times
Tyler Jul 23, 2025 01:02:41 AM
Summary: Nice place and nice location. Only issue was $40/day additional fee for gym and baggage storage that was mandatory.
Melissa Jul 17, 2025 11:28:05 PM
Summary: Great stay, great location, wonderful amenities
Deborah Jul 10, 2025 11:31:41 PM
Summary: Great service, clean and comfortable.
