The man at reception was extremely kind and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the large bathroom, though the water pressure was a bit lacking. It was quiet and we loved the general ambiance. Great, great location and easy parking.

The hotel is at a very convenient location, easy access to everywhere. Hotel room is not as spacious as it shows in photos but it’s NYC, so no complain. It has a nice high ceiling and very clean. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Chris who got us checked in and have been extremely helpful to our enquirers and requests throughout our stay. We really love our stay here.

Location is perfect to explore Manhattan both on the upper and lower side, by foot. Area is full of restaurants and all kind of shops, just amazing. Hotel is ok, rooms are a bit small and facilities updated (sink was clogged easily), it's ok for a short stay.
