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.

Locked out of my room for two nights, constant loud banging on the lower levels from the gym next door. Location was wonderful with the subway right down the block. The room was clean and cool. But the staff seemed a little off the entire stay.

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!
