Buyer beware. Upon arrival we were notified of a $40+ "resort fee" I guess for pool access, because that appeared to be the only amenity. Of course, it's the dead of winter, was zero degrees F and the pool is outside. Oh it also entitled you to a $10 credit to the mini bar which held a desirable water bottle, BUT, the credit was only valid until midnight, so too bad. Instead I went to use the paper coffee cup to have some nightst water from the tap. Except there was only ONE cup for my wife and I to share. I let her have the water overnight. And rather than reuse the SINGLE cup provided to SHARE a cup of coffee in the morning, we simply left what was a disappointment because "resort" hospitality was the last sentiment we felt at this property. In fairness the room was clean otherwise.

Loved it, amazing location, down the street from Kat’z and Rushan Daughters, the Purple Bar resteraunt slash nightclub is an amazing surprise on the the 14th floor. I believe it was a Void Soundsystem, the dance club part is like a downtown version of Windows of the World (RIP) w almost 360 window vies of the city, above that is the Bar/resteraunt, and rooftop hang, It was winter in fact I was there for the foot of snow in NYC. My flights were cancelled and alternative forms of transportation were cancelled and I was forced to stay extra days. Needless to say I was happy Ai didn’t mind having to stay extra days. The staff was very nice and helped me every step of the way.

I love the style in the rooms and hallways, Great art, fun style, cool furniture, good desk help. Though the lobby is not warm or welcoming. Could use couches and chairs. And the room was cold with no blankets. Not sufficient on the bed, and no extras. The coffee maker and tv were not working well either.

The staff didn't seem receptive. There was a kurig in my room and k cups but no coffee cups to make the coffee in. Also no cups to have cup of water. I asked the front desk for some cups so i could make coffee in my room it took 3 days 6 phone calls and 3 in person conversations at the front desk to get some cups to my room. It's a minor detail but it just shows the hotel is not prioritizing their guests.
