Wow! This place is a dream. We had a superior king room with city views and it was absolutely stunning. Pics don’t do it justice. The staff was wonderful, perfect location, and I can’t believe how good the rate was. The lobby design is incredible as well. All around well thought out aesthetics and excellent execution. Can’t wait to stay here again.

I want to rate this hotel much higher as the staff was super helpful and friendly, the rooms and the entire hotel were spotlessly clean, and their rates are very reasonable for the great location. However, the pillow were some of the worst I have ever slept on. There is not enough Advil in Manhattan to fix my wife's and my neck from the unmerciful beating they took on those truly awful pillows. If the Merchant upgraded their pillows I would happily stay again and upgrade my review.

Great, clean aesthetically pleasing room with views. Great rooftop bar and coffee bar in lobby. Can get noisy, especially at night. Issues with noisy neighbors and street noise. If you can get past that highly recommended. Walkable to subway,Soho and other nearby Burroughs.

My wife and i came to NYC for a night and went to see a broadway show. We came back rather late and we found out there were no more hot water! It's hard to take a shower with cold water in the middle of winter! Also the shampoo/soap bottles were really hard to use.

The room was clean. The staff was welcoming and professional. We got a wonderful room with a view of the city on the 15th floor. The views were spectacular! In fact, the hotel was so nice, we barely wanted to leave it to go experience the city.
