    A bit small but expected in this area.

    Small room in old facility, but renovated very smartly: new comfortable mattress, powerful and fantastic shower head, mini fridge, nice desk and tv.. those smart little changes made the stay very comfortable.

    It was a small room but very nicely appointed and comfortable. I was traveling alone so fine for me (and excellent value) but my 6 foot plus husband would not have liked the full (rather than queen or king) bed (which I knew about ahead of time). It was the first time I ever stayed in a room without a window, and a bit disorienting but great for sleeping at night, insulated from street noise and light. Again a great value for the money. The 24 hour coffee in the lobby was excellent.

    The only bad thing, in our room the windows were really dirty and also the curtain was old and dirty. The rest of the room was ok, so it was not a huge concern and it didn't ruin our experience at all, that was very good, but the look of it was not good at all to be honest.

    Very nice stay. It is in a perfect position to explore Midtown yet our room was very quiet. The beds are confortable, the plus point of free coffee in the lobby is great. The staff was very efficient and polite. I would recommend it without any doubt.

    I really can't come up with anything that I did not like, the hotel indeed presents excellent value for money! They even gave me a staff member's umbrella until I bought my own! Will definitely come back.

    Wonderful hotel - location is very central yet on a quiet street so you can sleep nicely, all staff members were very friendly and courteous, the level of cleanliness was exceptional. The hotel is rather new (or refurbished) with very good showers and comfortable beds. I was really pleasantly surprised as usually hotels of the same price range in NYC can be a mixed bag. Herbal teas in the lobby are of high quality. Plenty of towels in the bathroom; 2 bottles of water and soft drinks for free every day.

    In room coffee and tea would have been nice, but they had it in the lobby.

    The room was very clean which was great to arrive to after a long day of travel. The location was perfect for our needs. We walked to the theatre district, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Central Park and the shops on 5th Ave. Food options around the hotel were great. Loved the complimentary water and snacks in the room as well.

    As is typically the case in New York, the room was tiny and the window looked out at the adjacent building. There was very little natural light in the room.

    Exceptionally friendly staff. Fresh soapy smell in the lobby. Clean rooms and comfy beds. My son appreciated the assortment of free beverages and snacks in the mini-fridge. We all loved the location.

    Everything was great, the only slight thing was the bed was a bit soft and I personally prefer a very firm mattress, but it was still very comfortable.

    The location, price, staff, room size were all great. Super friendly and helpful staff :) I was upgraded to a slightly better room and it was quite nice, very clean with a lovely bathroom. Easy to walk everywhere and just 2 blocks from the metro, so super easy. I would stay here again, thanks!
