This is a budget friendly boutique hotel with easy online check-in . We had a clean but very small room. The bathroom was a decent size with good hot water pressure. The Wi-Fi worked well. The bed and pillows however were very uncomfortable and the bed was surprisingly low. More importantly the temperature in the room hovered around 77 degrees with the window open. When we informed the front desk that the air conditioning wouldn't kick on, we were told the bldg was old, and instructed to turn off the thermostat. That only served to keep the temperature from reaching 80. When I spoke with another guest on our floor (5th floor) they were not having any issues with the temperature in their room which was a comfortable 68 degrees. The highlight of this property is definitely the rooftop patio on the 7th floor. It offers long range views of Manhattan, which is especially beautiful at night.

The room was very small but perfectly fine for what you need when visiting New York, unless you plan to spend a lot of time in the room and not out and about. As a solo traveler or couple, it is totally fine. Would not recommend if you have kids.

Comfortable room, polite staff, good wifi, strategic location. A bit pricey and the fact that reception is not always manned is a bit inconvenient but for NY is not bad.

This place was great to stay at for the location and area. Lots and lots of food/bar options and the variety of cuisine is great. Also lots of shopping options. And it is right next to a stop for the subway which was very convenient. We did have black hairs all over our floor when we arrived, which were not our hairs. The mattress was not great, and the shower door didn’t close all the way so water leaked out. There’s one small mirror in whole room so that was struggle to get ready. And we saw the reviews about it being loud so we knew it was coming, but we can attest that it was loud if you have a street view as it is right next to a ro

There was no air conditioning, so it was unpleasantly warm in the room. I can't imagine staying here in the summer. It would be unbearable. A small unit in the room would be a massive improvement, especially since it is small, it wouldn't take much to cool it off.

Literally in the middle of everything which is a huge plus. Cleanliness could be better. There were pubes in the shower next to the shampoo they provide, and tons of messed up ceiling tiles in the restroom. Places for weirdos to put cameras… Water in the shower ran brown for about 5mins before clearing up. Room was extremely small, but I wasn’t in there much anyway.
