If you’re looking for a 2 star hotel with a four star rating, this is it. Rooms are extremely sad especially for a junior suite.

Really nice
Nice hotel in convenient midtown location - particularly loved the lobby with lots of comfortable places to hang out. Front desk service was great too. Room was comfortable and nice sized but oddly provisioned (obviously a room for 2 but only 1 nice chair to sit in and no table near it). None of the nice little touches I usually like in boutiques - no lobby coffee or drinks and the gym had no water or towels (possible to get from front desk which is not near the gym and no sign in gym or information to that effect provided at check in). Still, we had a very nice time there!
