I would like to share some concerns regarding my recent stay at your property. Unfortunately, I encountered several issues that affected my experience: • Lack of proper cleaning • Presence of worms in the bathroom • The housekeeping trolley was frequently left in the middle of the hallway • The elevators often did not function properly • The front desk staff demonstrated a lack of customer service and responded in an impolite manner Additionally, I am still waiting for the refund of my deposit to be returned to my account. Front desk told me will be return but nothing yet. I’m been in contact with them by mail but I don’t have any clear answer yet. They said will check by the account manager but I’m still waiting. Very bad service, if I’m not following up they will keep the 350 usd

Everything was pretty good in my room. Comfortable bed, A/C worked well, and housekeeping was great. Negative: the construction of the shower was bizarre. The shower head constantly sprayed water all over the floor and the tile had missing grout, which most certainly is causing water damage. Also the last day of my stay I didn't have any hot water!

Not clean, water and ice machine work but they tell their guest it doesn’t l. It’s located on the 4th or 5th floor of I remember. You just need to flip the switch on since they turn it off, elevator is so slow, I wait 10 min each time since only 1 worked and the other 3 were broken the 8 days I stayed there. Mo housekeeping and I didn’t get any discount when I asked, I was told “ You paid for what you get, we can’t give you a discount. If you wanted luxury stay at a better hotel” when did taking the elevator and not walking up 10 flights of stairs a luxury at a hotel?

By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I wouldn’t pay $100/night to stay here much less the $550/night they charge. It was old and broke down inside. Rooms were tiny and dirty. Could see rust coming through the walls of our bathroom. No hot water half of the trip. No WiFi. No security. Called front desk 100 times and they never answered once.

This hotel is in the middle of everything- shopping, theater, food, and is very close to Times Square! The only gripe I have it is speed and size of the elevators- they're small and slow, and one was out of order. Overall, it was exactly what we needed at a great price! We will definitely be back on our next trip!
