Unfortunately the hotel was way below the standards we would accept. The room was small, bathroom was old and dated, the shower handle fell of when we used it. For a deluxe room it was nowhere near the quality we expected and paid for.

Nice place

Great location! The place could use some freshening up, but it was clean. The elevator was horribly slow so make sure if you are catching the bus/subway you take into account the slowness of the elevator.

Don’t stay in the front street rooms

Hotel is well located in the centre of New York. I think it may be just because it’s the city that never sleeps. But good luck sleeping in this place. Horns, loud music from cars, fire engines all night long. The windows need to be better protected from the sound outside. I advise staying in one of the rooms away from the Main Street if staying. The lofts in the priority took a while to come down and only 1 is fit for more than 4 people. I think one was down for maintenance which never helped. The luggage storage was an additional $5 each case. Which isn’t much but just seems pointless.

El hotel es antiguo, necesita remodelacion. La habitación me la cambiaron 3 veces la llaves no funcionaban y uno de los cuartos el aire no funcionaba. El costo es muy alto para el servicio que ofrecen. Del Staff Jose es el mejor brindando un buen servicio al cliente. Es céntrico pero no vuelvo a hospedarme ahi.
