We were worried about not having a place to put our luggage while we explored. Thankfully the staff was able to check us in super early and it made everything super easy. The staff was really nice and the room was clean. Definitely recommend!

Nice hotel for New York City. Convenient location right near the No. 6 subway line. Rooms are a little small but it’s NYC. I liked it because it’s so close to so many things. I wouldn’t waste time on the breakfast. Beds were big and comfortable. Hotel was not weird or scammy.
