Disliked: Amenities
The room was freezing. Literally freezing. I asked to move and was told I couldn’t despite there being available rooms in all websites including their own. Also they are massively misrepresenting their hotel. They show photos of the bars and a restaurant. None of these exist. It’s appalling. I had to move to a different hotel. I called the GM who didn’t work at weekends and they never called back

Easy, fast check in. Valet parking was great. I love this location because you are away from the hustle and bustle on Times Square, but close enough to walk or take a quick uber ride. The room was so cute and very clean. Staff also very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Room was great and perfect size for what we needed. Bed was comfy. Clean. Fun view. Great value, great location. Food at cafe in lobby was GREAT. Two little things. The GFI of the outlet in bathroom was tripped and would not reset so I used different one to dry my hair. The heat did not blow hot or even warm air—luckily the covers on the bed were very warm.

I've stayed here a few times before and the staff is always friendly, the rooms are always clean and comfortable. The only minor complaint this time was that the room was very cold. Spoke to front desk about it and all good. There’s lots of eatery options in the area and it's a great location.

Wonderful staff. It could have been warmer but at least they brought a small electric heating to supplement the very windy and cold climate. Overall, I would return to this hotel with a great coffee cafe.

Excellent, clean room with extremely helpful staff. Location is right next to the 6 Train and a Starbucks is next to that, and lots of local spots for dinner, late night snacks and drinks for the room. We’ve stayed here nearly a dozen times and have made it a home away from home.
