This was a perfect option for my New York trip, offering convenient, walkable access to Convene at one-third the cost of the brand-name hotel next door. It was definitely slightly awkward in places, like a quirky preteen just beginning a glow-up. But if you can overlook some mismatched furniture and unfinished-looking spaces, you’ll enjoy the comfy bed and pillows, the modern bathroom, the character of exposed brick and large windows, and the convenience of having a full-size fridge in your room. Lobby amenities are minimal, but front desk staff was helpful, if not overly friendly. If you’re looking for luxury, you may be disappointed. And like many NYC locations, street noise can be an issue. However, if you want a decent room at an excellent price, and you BYO earplugs, you’ll love it! There’s even a subway stop literally right outside the door.
